Looks from the news articles that the divers are wearing single tanks to penetrate at 165'. And that they are limited to 10 minutes of bottom time. Seems very odd to me.

49m. And yes, single tank air >>> here <<< That's why they are NOT penetrating.

Jeepers, get some proper hard hat Navy or commercial divers over there and get the job done.

Some "proper hard hat" won't be able to enter the wreck... far to narrow for these egos... Unless they cut it in small pieces...

I can't believe they are claiming to be searching for possible survivors in air pockets without utilizing technical penetration diving. I mean, I am pretty sure no one survived in an air pocket, but you can't be sure without penetration. I hope there are rebreather divers going down that they just haven't shared photos of.
