Amazing, absolutely amazing! Would it be ok if I used some of the pics in my powerpoint presentations for my OW and AOW classes?

From what I have been told (and by looking at the tank I transported to someone for a little R&D), they dump them before bringing them to the surface. The pitting is absolutely amazing considering it is fresh water. That would really suck if one blew coming up.

Are bottles like that safe to use, even after ~6.5 years of being in the system?
 
Thinking of these tanks that have been left behind and are now in various states of "decomposition" makes me think of Wakulla as the diver's version of "The Body Farm".

Think of Wakulla as "The Bottle Farm". :wink:

another niggling detail question:

The teams continued to check on and support RB1 in the habitat. As the hours rolled on, time to check on the arrival of RB Team 2 (RB2) (Jablonski and McKinlay) at the 120-foot mark. Mudry, Correia and David Doolette headed in for a Meet 'n Greet at approximately 2:15pm to see if our explorers had returned from their big dive. It was admittedly a bit of a guessing game since our estimates for their return time encompassed both shorter or longer bottom times than planned - so we sent them in a bit before schedule just to be safe. We wanted to be sure we had someone there within 20 minutes of their arrival to help the guys get out of their rebreathers and safely on their way to the basin portion of their decompression. The crew (Mudry, Correia and Doolette) sat in the water and waited - going back in every 30 minutes to see if the guys had arrived. With great anticipation we sent them down for the 4th time at 4:40 pm, and were very excited to hear back that we finally had the guys back after their successful dive! Word spread quickly amongst the team and while we celebrated their exploration success - we knew the work was only beginning.

i'm assuming they're checking for the arrival of the divers at the 120 mark from considerably shallower than that?
