Subject: Re: Kites & Balloons

 From a fellow diver :A weatherballoon filled with Helium to a diameter
of 1 m needs a volume of 524 , thus about a 3l bottle filled to 200 bar
approx.

It is supposed to have an updrift of 584 g ( 1 lbs + 1 ounce)  that must
suffice for the skin, tether line, and a bit of water at the start.

Her name is Nena. I don't hope the prophecy in her song will come true.
