I purchased Sheck's book at Ginnie a couple of weeks ago.

I found this morning that the page 126 is blank.  It seems that I am missing 
something about his dives in Tarpon Springs.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Michel


PS: for deep dives, I remember reading in AquaCorps that Sheck and others 
extrapolated the existing tables for deeper dives.

I just got a copy of Sheck Exley's autobiography, _Caverns Measureless to 
Man_
this week, and am about halfway through.  This is an excellent book.  It 
sheds
some new, personal light on Sheck's many record-setting dives, and on the
history of cave diving in general.  It's available through the NSS.

This book raises a question for me which historians or old-timers on the 
list
may be able to answer.   Although there were divers going beyond 300 fsw on
air in the 60's and 70's, I can't figure out how they planned their dives. 
 As
far as I can tell they didn't have access to anything other than Navy 
tables.
Did they extrapolate stop times from these beyond 300 fsw?
