jamiei once bubbled...
Actually it was conducted, as I've mentioned, at the hot hole which has water temps around 90 deg F.
Holy smokes... I didn't know that was there.
Interesting. That falls within my parameters for my Phase 10 dive. I still believe in salt water, but it's something to keep in mind. Hm.
We probably haven't seen anything about it just yet because it was just completed late thursday. I'll get in touch with bill and see if I can get more info. I guess this makes three times you missed out on... Where was the dive in Columbia done at?
No, I meant the one dive (mentioned above) in Savannah... Although I did get to talk to the diver and his support crew post-dive. The second was the one you're talking about... At Keowee... My reference to "Columbia" was relative to the dive you mention. Do I not have that right? Is Keowee not in the Columbia/Irmo area? Maybe I'm thinking of Wateree...
As I said, 105 hours give or take is the closest number I've seen. I do know your view on salt... but it seems to me anyway that saltwater, after that long of an exposure would quite possibly be just as bad for your body as freshwater.
Well, the bottom line is... "Yes." Superhydration is superhydration. However, the effects of it tend to be less pronounced in salt water than in fresh, due to the lack of a huge electrolyte loss in salt water. I don't know whether this would come into play after 14 days yet, but all of the theories that I've learned say that it's likely, and I'm willing to try it out in Phases 1-4.
105 hours... Man, that's too cool. You know, if a diver is going to keep that record for more than a few months, he's going to have to break that record by a longshot. I have a feeling that this diver's record is going to stand for a while... To go from 72 to 76 isn't a huge break... To go from 76 to 105 hours... That record might stay around for a while.
I'd be really interested in talking to these guys... And since they're so close, maybe we can get some diving in...
