Trivia Question: Where Would You Be At 1/2 Ata?

[XJae]

This claims to be the world's high altitude scuba dive record.
It is inside the Licancábur volcano in the Andes mountain range on the Chile-Bolivia border.
The lake is at ~19,200 feet and could be the world's highest lake, questionable depending on your definition of a lake.
It's is only about 15 feet deep at its deepest point.
I would think that at some point, probably just a few feet, the diver was at 1/2 ata.

Another interesting Licancábur expedition.

LOL- That's all you'd need! These day's if your ascent rate alarm started beeping in your carry on, you'd probably trussed, gagged and carted off by the FBI in about five minutes flat.

I went to Boston and back yesterday. Had to take my shoes off both ways, and coming back they ran my cell phone and shoes through bomb detector

mobile phones are always put through the scanner, and I have been asked to turn it on every time

evrytime I came back from Italy they made me put my dive watch through the scanner, when i asked why, i got the reply "it could be a timer for a bomb"

in Europe and the UK we have always had security checks so it is nothing new to us.

just something you have to get used to.

but it would (or not) be amusing if the ascent rate started beeping, thats why I put mine in its travel box (Sunto Cobra).
