I'd like to hear the board's opinion of this dive. Personally, I'm appalled but I'd like to get some other perspectives.

The dive isn't 200ft deep... you'd have to dig to get deeper than 60ft. It's about 200ft long.

I dove Silfra two months ago, it's a nice dive. She should have a good time.

That makes more sense. I read this "Charlotte plans to do the dive towards the end of September and is particularly looking forward to stopping on the way down the 200ft-deep fissure, putting out her arms and bridging the gap." a
