I'm curious how you would design this? Can you elaborate please?

I'm sorry for the delay in replying, I've been diving in Ojamo mines so my fingers have just about thawed out enough to type, apologies to the folks who asked questions:

Gas selection was 7/80, so virtually Heliox really, we did a shift to 18/45 at 60m to reduce the He content and speed the deco up a little using VPM-B as our model.

No one got bent, a few tired and emotional divers but zero % DCS which we were all chuffed to bits with

We have footage and stills and there will be a presentation most likely at LIDS in London next year but we may wait until the NEC in September 08 as it's a much better show.

I am also doing a small presentation in Finland January 5th in Helsinki which will feature a bit of Carpathia and some other deep UK wrecks we have dived and filmed

In the end Carl our 'media *****' managed to get the video footage from Comex through their ROV. No one has really reviewed it properly yet but Carl thinks it is more than suitable and interesting enough to show, so fingers crossed!

I have also posted a picture of one of the plates recovered, note the fine detail and impressive crest!

cheers
