I guess im of the opinion, who cares how deep of a CESA someone else can do.....My concern is what depth im gonna be able to do it in a OOA situation. Its great someone else can do it from 100+ feet, if me or my buddies cant do it when needed. Some records are made NOT to be broken.
I understand. But the way I look at it is that by looking at the depths that divers have survived swimming ascents, it does prove beyond mere speculation that CESA (ESA, actually) is an option and provides hope in a deep OOA situation with no buddy in sight.
That knowledge, the knowledge that in extreme circumstances you can actually get to the surface on a single breath from the edge of "recreational limits" can be the difference between panic and survival.
Best wishes.
