How "deep" is done now...

[DeepSeaDan]

Some folks are interested in "how deep is possible" - well, breathable gas is extraordinarily difficult @ great depth, so, you crawl inside one of these babys ( its called a "wasp", & it is a 1 atmosphere articulating hard suit ), & go & do your thing. In this case, it was the world record deep pipeline repair - 2150' down.

Then straight back up for a hot shower & a good meal, just to go back & do it again in 12 hours...

Not a bad gig I'd say!

I've never dove the thing, but my buddies who do report it to be a bit cramped, sweaty and...don't even mention the misfortune of passing gas in there!

Standby though - it won't be long before Phil NeWton creates something like the "Sport Newt Suit", soon to be arriving at your local dive shop!

Best,

Phil Nuytten is an awesome guy. And his u/w technology is incredible. How about that swimmable Exosuit?
