The chapter in "Fatal Depth" about Chris Murley is titled "Six-eight, three
twenty."
Taking him to _any_ dive site is tough to defend.

In Bucky McMahon's July 2000 Esquire article "Everest at the Bottom of the
Sea," he describe a diver making his first drysuit dive on the Andrea Doria.
That is also tough to defend.

The "bus driver" line only convinces me for a short time.  We are well
beyond that.
