ArcticDiver:If memory serves weren't most of the dives in the books about the Andrea Doria solo dives? Some were solo from the surface and some from some point when they reached the hull?
The guy(Cathay/China? Airlines Captain) diving the hole in South Africa were down deeper than 300', 320' I think, on rebreather. First dive worked well. But he bought it on the second dive which was an attempt to set some kind of body recovery on rebreather record.
ArcticDiver:Interestingly on a recent flight I was seated next to one of his fellow Captains who was on his way home to Canada for his time off. It was interesting hearing his take on the other Captain's personality and attitude and how it affected his work as an airline Captain.
ArcticDiver:Even with all this I too have a problem with a question like this. To me depth is something that is needed to see what I want to see or to accomplish a particular mission. It is not some goal to achieve to prove how macho/macha a person is.
dave4868:Meters, not feet, but otherwise you've got it about right.

MikeFerrara:I don't dive to any depth where I don't think I'm capable with or without a buddy. In other words, whether I am alone or not has no bearing on what depth I'll dive.
Bill expressed revervations about saying what his deepest was. I don't have any reservations. LOL, I'm just not saying. I'll say this much...I wasn't breathing air.
