What's the French for 'nutter' anyway?

"Fou" or "dingue"

But madness is a little bit a necessity, but not too much because it will kill you, it's a question of dosage

40mins sub 120m and 8 hours on scrubber. - Nice!
Did you get any condensation on sensor faces?

Condensations ? not really on the cells due to the design pattern of Boris the water tense to go on the bottom part of the center section and it's trapped over there by the little walls. On the way up I flush the loop quite often anyway to reduce CO2, water etc ...

Any other issues?

With Boris ? amazingly not

With me ? many

1) stage tanks stuck in line at -117m
2) me stuck in old line at -135m
3) hell of a current between -120 and -180
4) scooter start making noise on the propeller shaft around -170
5) pee valve broken at -30m
6) heating jacket short circuit around -29m
7) hypothermia from -15m
8) on 60 min stop at -12 had to shunt 10 min
9) peripheric vasoconstriction at -9 so shunt 60 min and refuge inthe habitat at -6m

Fortunetly 5h in the habitat on pure O2 with hot drinks, food, and friends, warmed me up and I exited with no DCI

Usual fun

Will develop the report with photos soon on snoopyloop.com

Jerome

Not to much? eh.. i think your over the edge already

Jerome.

You did 8 hours on the scrubber, no sweat no doubt as it was 5 hours at 6m in the dry, but didn't the white flashing HUD light after 3 hours drive you up the wall!!!

Or do you have a way of resolving that problem? (Black tape)

Couldn't go due to last minute flooding

plan b) was Goul de la Tannerie, but also under moderate flooding

so plan c) became Goul du Pont

In cave diving explorations you need to adapt to last minute changes

Well, you can't say that's a pity...

Congratulations.

I am sorry M8 "Fou" just dosent cut it realy

Deep stops at 120m+ tangled in line at 135m Jusus a pee valve would be the lowest of my concerns I would need a full on incontinance kit for this dive

Much respect to your courage and obvious abuility. I look forward to reading your report with the lights on a stiff drink and hugging my teddy bear.
