Spyros and team,

Awesome dives! I enjoyed the write up on the pdf as well. I'm looking forward to the full trip report.

I'd be curious to hear how you guys set up your Megs for this type of dive if it's different from a standard config? ie. run offboard or onboard DIL?, 4th cell?, O2 injection on the exhale CL?, etc...

Also curious about the performance of those Force Fins with all that gear???? (I thought I caught a glimpse of one of the divers wearing them in the video?)

Thanks for the inspiration! Well done!

Eric

Hey Eric,

thanks for the support. i guess it would be good when some achieve a feat and get well wishes rather than having "sh*t thrown at then in every way".

Pim was having the fins. apparently he likes them a lot and is happy with them. Megs had big S80 tanks for onboard 02 and dil, no other modifications. megs are really well build machines.

and for the rest, yes, we found there is a leak on the soleinoid. but what do you do? do you abort the dive? if is not a major issue, you have plenty of air, why not continue? you know it takes about 1.5 hours on the boat, to get there, and you never know when the sea will allow you to dive again... at least on our stay.

bottom line, is we had some fun, and i wanted to share this will all the others. i see so many others writing up reports, everybody is seems happy. why our team? is it because is us? please enjoy your diving, and aim to better and safer your diving.

Thanks to everybody who contributed.
