Can't they get that little chick who squeezed through that tiny hole on one of the previous videos that Cave Diver posted...Man, that was crazy! Not for the faint of heart, nor the claustrophobic.
Taking nothing away from Ag, keep in mind how that was shot... to see her squeezing through that opening and show her face, that means the camera person had previously squeezed through that exact same restriction and then they had somehow gotten the camera through it as well, plus the lights, just to make that shot... and that the camera person had to be fighting that current you saw her battling with just to keep it steady.
My point is that, amazing as the video is (and it IS amazing), there is more than one person who could make it through that crack. I have met a couple of these men who have been working this recovery in person (I don't claim to KNOW any of them personally, just to have met them) and I have utter confidence in somebody like Edd's ability to get into any crack that is reasonable for a diver to get into.
If these folks say it is too tight or too dangerous, then it is.
