World Record Longest Dive

[RonFrank]

I think that some of you ought to be ashamed for belittling this endurance dive. If you think it's so easy, try 24 hours sometime.

Jack and his crew are to be congratulated on this achievement. Jack may also make some money on an endorsement for someone's full-face mask and the communications systems. You have my respect.

And the point of this dive was? I'm sorry, doing something for the sake of publicity, a record, or ??? seems rather pointless.

He also slept, ate, etc. I'm wondering if he was able to take a dump! He was supported by a staff. Hey, if the guy got paid, and was able to hang out viewing, well what was he viewing? Did he enjoy this dive? Were there some medical implications? Did anyone learn anything?

You call this an achievement, but what did it accomplish? Guys live in bells for weeks on end at depth, so why is this a record? I'm sorry, I just don't GET this.

Ron, I hope you aren't expecting John to answer that. He posted in 2003

It's been 6 years, did anyone ever figure out how/if he pooped?
