There is a show called Science of the Deep on the Science Channel. Tonights episode is about the investigation of the Brittanic. It features Jarrod Jablonski and his GUE team. It started at 9pm EST but there is repeat of it again at midnight EST about 3 hours from now.

I'm not sure when DIR was "invented" but the hoses seem to be routed that way.

Enjoy

Thanks for the heads up, I just went and set my tivo.

You're welcome. I would have mentioned it sooner as I knew it was coming on for a few hours earlier. I didn't realise that JJ and GUE were involved until about 10 minutes into the episode though, hehe.

I thought it was a fairly decent show, although it left me wanting to know more about the ship.

Thanks turning and recording now

That expedition was in 1999.
DIR wasn't actually "invented"... is is simply an assembage of various configurations, procedures, and attitudes that many feel are superior to other configurations, procedures, and attitudes.

The hose routing, as well as the backplate/wing system, is called "Hogarthian" after William Hogarth Main, who developed the system. DIR adopted the Hogarthian system.

So all this hype about DIR is only a couple of years old at most :11:
The way a lot of people make it sound like, I would have thought it to be around for the last 15 -20.

Wow

Uh, no, it started in the late 1980s/early 1990s with the Woodville Karst Plains Project. They did an 18,000 ft linear penetration into the Wakulla Springs cave system in Florida with depths over 300 ffw. That's over 3 miles inside a cave.

DIR has been around and is well tested.

The Brittanic was just another one of their projects.
