Beatiful.... who should I sell my soul to to get the opportunity to dive there?
You can keep your soul, but you'll need to part with about $25K. Here's a link to a company that puts such trips together. I got to go for free in return for running small boat and diving operations for a similar (now defunct) firm, they do come and go ... watch your deposits.

I think you forgot the link... although I guess a bit of googling would let me find them.
[Edit] Not that I can spare that kind of money for a dive trip....
Buddy diving is only as good & safe as your buddy is. But before you point the finger at your buddy, take a look at yourself first and ask the question, "am I a good buddy"?
What regs did you use? How much extra weight for all that extra undergarments?
We were using light weight surface supply, and AGA Divator Mk II.
As for the extra weight, those of us who were in the White's Mk III, i think they were wearing at least 40 lbs. As for those of us wearing the Weazles, about 28-32 lbs, plus ankle wieghts.
