Just for some perspective, Hannes Keller broke 1,000' on a bounce dive in December of 1962. Two divers on the Navy's Mark II Deep Dive System broke 1,000' in saturation a decade later. The deepest open sea dive was in 1988 to 1,752'. The deepest chamber dive was to 2,300' in 1992.

Granted, none of these were in Scuba. However, making this dive on Scuba didn't exactly extend the reach of mankind. Many people are predicting that the 1,000' mark will be broken by freedivers within the decade.

Sorry for my ignorence when you mean "bounce" you mean to touch the mark and take off, kind of taking a selfy on a plase to let know you been there, right ?

The search bar is a handy tool; http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/te...mits-part2-world-dive-record-350m-2-days.html Couldn't have picked a more inaccurate forum to post it under either..

Certainly a milestone in diving, but ill prepared which cost the lives of three Englishmen.

I was there as a spectator. Were you?

They planted the American and the Swiss flag on the bottom and began their decent...a bounce dive, but proved man could reach 1000 breathing from a mixed gas mixture using US Diver's Calypso SCUBA regulator.

Long time ago and many memories

Denis, you just have to do 7.7 of these to hold the new world record.
