We used to get ours from a welding shop for our Halloween stuff!

wow ...found dry ice at a beer distribitor. We did a dry run tonight with a piece of dry ice, an empty plastic soda bottle and a little bit of water let in at 25ft. HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Don't try this at home. Alot of power for such simple items as well as loud... oooops. (can you hear me now?_)

Were going try a sealed pelican box with a few pounds of dry ice. Any suggestions on how to do a trigger mechanism safetly inside the box at some depth. This thing is going to be loud. Our focus is on safety so ideas appreciated.

2.) 100w light bulbs explode at 45 ft so be sure to keep them inside a zip lock baggie if you need to dive with them.

That's really amazing. I would have expected them to implode.









Sorry, couldn't help it.

Looking forward to the VIDEOs of that

But what's your fail-safe? How will will you approach it safely if it doesn't blow up on its own?

Shoot it with a rigged spear gun.

They dealt with the pressure on the way down with no problem. They "exploded" on ascent. It was a neat example of reverse squeeze. Were going to repeat this one as with varying depths and ascent rates.
