Hi

Details coming soon I hope.

Over 1,000 feet deep, crazy.

7h dive "only"

If that's the case, it was a real bounce dive.

I know you said details coming soon. But would love to know gear used / configuration for the dive and what support was in place.

I can't imagine tying in new line and putting your line marker at the end.

I have no idea but since he's French and dives below 200m my guess is that he's diving a double Joki.

Standard revolver, one round in the cylinder.

Sorry, but that's not the case. Diving a double Liberty CCR, double DSV, no bell for deco.

Here's a newspaper article about it (in French of course). Btw, the cavity Font Estramar, imposes a complex navigation and has taken it tolls in human lives over the years. In the early days of diving in France, Cousteau (then a navy officer and serving at the GERS) lost one his guy there.

@JMBL Do you know if Font Estramar is open again or only with a permit?
