That's really impressive, I wonder what they ate during the dive.

I would put me some mashed taters and gravy in one of those toothpaste like tubes. I bet you could even chop some steak up fine enough to get through the hole. Two tubes of that and some apple sauce and I would be good to go until I got to the habitat.

They used 15 rebreathers? Interesting given the recent Eagles Nest tragedy......

Anyway, congrats to the divers, what a feat!

15 breathers was a type-o in the article btw

Oh ok thanks.

I also want to know who knotted 26k feet of line? Talk about carpel tunnel syndrome. HAHA
