 Thor, we use chemical containment tanks turned upside down. We put beams
across the opening (2" X 4") and plywood over that with 1/4 of the lower
side open.  Reinhard has a more mobile system , so he might be the one to
ask.

Our containers were custom made here in south Florida. However, for chemical
or oil field applications, these types of containers are common. A tank of
hazardous material would be placed inside of one of these containers so that
if the tank broke, the spill would be contained.

The dimensions are 5 feet by 4 feet, approximately.

We take off our tanks and climb up into these containers. They will hold
three people. Oh  yeah, we put Astroturf on the plywood. Makes JJ feel at
home. I hated playing on that shit - made the bounces of the ball more
predictable, and required special shoes. I have thirteen sprained ankles as
a result, and one of them will not even straighten out any more, but it is
good for habitats.

Hi George,

Can you please describe the habitat-system wkpp uses for decompression
(construction and prosedures)? As you can read from our website (link
below), the exploration of the Plura system (Norway) has reached 4300 feet
at short of 300 feet depth. Cold water is the factor we need to overcome in
order to push further, and we consider setting up habitats. I hope you may
help us with some info, as I understand the wkpp have a lot of experience on
this topic.

Can you recomend an instructor for training on the RB80?
