200m/663 ft, the deepest Meg dive...

Hi all,

May 17TH 2006 - KRABI, THAILAND: a 201 m/ 663 ft dive with a Megalodon CCR

We just pushed the limits of the Sra Keow Cave to 201 m/ 663ft.
For this 6 hour-long dive, I used a standard ISC Megalodon Closed-Circuit rebreather with an axial scrubber and no major modification (except oil-filled handsets and battery compartments to withstand the pressure). The Megalodon CCR performed flawlessly at these extreme depths. This dive is supposed to be the deepest dive ever done with a Megalodon, and also the deepest cave dive/rebreather dive ever done in Asia.

Thanks to my team mate DrMike, with his Ouroboros CCR, and to andibk for all the logistics.

A full trip report will be available next week on www.cedricverdier.com before heading to the Philippines Islands and some extremely deep wrecks.

Cheers
