Anyone hear about this? A guy stayed down about 105 hours in lake Keowee (below Jocassee in SC) this week breaking the previous record of around 70 hours. Just learned about this today from Bill Routh at Off The Wall Charters who supplied the tanks for the dive. I've haven't heard much about it so far, but we went diving up there today and got a free t-shirt from it...

This sounds like something that SeaJay here on SB was planning....
But I am probably confused...
105 hours (just over four days) underwater in one continuous period of time....
not for me...

Not to mention that he did it in a lake, and Lake Keowee at that. My Gawd we dived the Pump House once and the vis was about 10 feet at best, it was like doing a night dive during the day it was so dark. I can't immagine what he did for 4 days in a lake with that kind of vis. He's a better man then I am. LOL

From what I was told, he did it at the "hot hole" and spent most of the time around 10'. He ate, slept, and all down there... Around 130 tanks were used in all including the record setting diver and support crew. Many of those tanks were larger than 80 cuft. as well.

Sounds like a great idea. I think Im going to attempt to set a record by seeing how long I can stand on one foot. These are truly the accomplishments that set us apart from apes.

Hi Jamiei,
Thanks for your help in getting this information out. I have posted a more detailed accounting of the dive that Jack Stanton did. We are in the process of getting all the information together on paper now and documenting all the details. This truely was an experience that I would never miss. More information should become available over the next month or so on the operation.
