He said they remained a light breath at that depth. He's also recently done a 308m dive but I don't know whether he was using Apeks again for that one, not may details of the dive have been released as yet. Apeks's site is http://www.apeks.co.uk , they used to have some technical diagrams on there, try mailing them if you can't find what you want.
