Went out with a group of tech divers this am in St Croix. The guy in the helmet with the light went to 550 feet today and is planning to break the world record and go to 1200 feet by June or July. Good luck.

How long was he under water today?

I would guess about 1.5 hrs. We were doing a recreational dive. We dropped he and 4 buddies off, gave them a bearing to our mooring pin, and then it took us maybe 30 minutes to get to our pin and to get in. On our way out on the wall they passed us at about 60ish feet on their way to the boat. His buddies only did 300' and I'm not sure if he was at the same level when we passed. He said he did the first 160' back up in 1 minute. He did breathe O2 as a planned precautionary once on the boat. He beat us back on the boat so not sure of exact times.

Is the body even made to survive at such depth without a submarine????
I have a suspicion that this diver is full of ****.
Even running gf 100/100 and 4 deco gasses it is a 4 hr dive.

Agreed......1.5 hrs is a long way from 17 hrs underwater.
