Yesterday I got chance to witness a run test of the compressor by its new owner prior to been stripped down. As you can do the CO at the air intake is approx 150ppm and when tested at the whips 175ppm indicating some issue internally over above the contaminated intake.
it will now be rebuilt...
Sadly it does not appear that there will be any more official information on this. The authorities here have concluded there investigations, funeral has been held and the tanks and ccr sold and funds sent to his family. The compressor has been sold to be stripped and rebuilt.

Not sure why they separated and I am sure that will come out in the enquiry. Yeah sure I hear you on the bailouts and cannot rationalise that myself. I do know that the other team member brought them all out on ascent, been unaware of situation on the surface.
There are a lot of inaccuracies and all those reports above. A two man team were diving song hong cave to a planned depth of 150m having previously placed bailouts and conducted other dives. One on a AP inspiration and one on both a Revo and triton CCR. Both experienced cave divers and with...
