I dive with 2 Suunto computers, a Cobra and a Mosquito, and both start beeping at 107. I can look it up in my downloaded logs, but im fairly sure we went to about 120, for just a short period of time. The stereo beeping was definately driving me crazy. Monty and I sticked together afterwards and did a really long safety stop at 40 ft. I didnt set my computer to 1.6, but I know you can go to 130 on 1.6 and i use that bit of extra depth for specific dives. Normally I wouldnt go below 107, if only cause my computers drive me crazy
There is no way Monty or Michelle would purposefully disregard safety. They know the limits very well, because when you are as remote as they are, any problem means some really complicated manoeuvering and using very remote airfields and multiple jumppoints to get someone to a deco chamber.
It's like Peter said, if you wake up in the morning already set to dislike everything, all you remember are your perceived negatives, and you'll probably exaggerate those.

ps: I would skip that dive. That truck is really not worth the effort. The only reason I went is cause I had been at that dive site (White Beach) so often, I figure id go see what the big deal is. Instead, just dive in the shallows of White Beach around the barges. Thats where I made that soft coral in the mangroves picture, that very same dive! (while someone else was sulking away all that fun
