Hanging one at the end of a long rope comes to mind, but there must be a reason that idea was rejected.
I was thinking an automated trigger and a wet pot could achieve the same thing.

Thank you for the additional information. Considering that it is your first message on this board, it would be useful if you could tell us what your source is.
If this is true, the record was set in OC and apparently this is what it was diving.
no indication of any surface support
Do not get confused with people who (successfully) dove CCR in the same place and the Polish guy who perished last year
He dove solo
I am not going to comment on the rest of your message, since I was only reporting what news source were saying. If you have first hand knowledge your sharing is welcomed.Not sure how noteworthy it is for this type of dive. I mean, I am happy to get educated (I'm very far from being a technical diver) on how many dives below 300m have been done as a team? This is not to be confused with surface support.
That’s probably a good way to do the tests but at some point you probably want to test with real dives, also I suspect the brands ‘sponsoring’ these records want the sales due to marketing.Hanging one at the end of a long rope comes to mind, but there must be a reason that idea was rejected.
Do you think there is a big market for scooters that have been tested to 330 meters? A year or two ago a man died when his scooter imploded at over 200 meters. I don't think a lot of people need much more than that kind of depth.That’s probably a good way to do the tests but at some point you probably want to test with real dives, also I suspect the brands ‘sponsoring’ these records want the sales due to marketing.

It is not a good idea to have your life rely in any part on technology that is being tested at crush depth without good backup plans. I know what I am talking about. Two divers who were friends of mine attempted a record dive at a high altitude lake. As in this dive, the deepest part of the lake was not easily accessible from shore. The used scooters for the sloping descent, and that was the plan for the sloping ascent, as well. That all changed with scooter failure during the dive--which was only one of the things that went wrong. They had to do a free ascent while doing a lot of decompression in the middle of the lake. It did not go well, and one of them died.
I am not sure what you mean. Doesn't that depend upon what you are testing?You need real-life testing at some point ? Until then, all lab testing is just lab testing
But in the end there is a first where you have to operate on a real patient. It is the same here, at some point you have to try it in real conditions.I am not sure what you mean. Doesn't that depend upon what you are testing?
In several recent threads in the Diving Medicine forum, it has been revealed that the St. Jude company has tested its pacemakers under pressure and determined that divers can expect them to work at least to 7 atmospheres (about 200 feet). It did not say how they were tested, although a clue can be found from the fact that they also said that the pacemakers did not fail at deeper depths, they just lacked the capacity to test them deeper.
From that, I infer that they did not test them by sending cardiac patients on dives to different depths to see at what point their pacemakers would fail. They could easily have sent those patients to 8 atmospheres or more.
