Record setting dive in Spain

[Rodney Nairne]

Well 2 of the divers at Pozo Azul have dived Wakulla and I am sure if you asked them they would tell you they would prefer to stay in the water 100% of the time than having you haul camping gear and food long distances into a cave, as well as all their gear has to be hauled through the dry passage.

If the Pozo team were allowed to dive Wakulla they would not have any major difficulty with any of the dives. That does not take anything away from the WKPP team dives at Wakulla, because the Pozo divers are the best of the best (and have been asked to speak at GUE conferences I believe).

But the WKPP team would not be able to do the Pozo dives without extensive training and development of new techniques simply not required at Wakulla.

Not taking anything away from the team, IMHO a great accomplishment, but is the dive looked at by the powers that be as somewhat different? I believe that Wakulla was done constantly underwater on scuba and the other had a break in an air chamber. Are there different standards like they have in free diving. Again, I am always still learning and just trying to see how the two dives can be compared.

A camp was established in Tipperary, and following a nights sleep, further exploration was carried out into S3 by the other 3 divers.

If the Pozo team were allowed to dive Wakulla they would not have any major difficulty with any of the dives.

Kinda hard to sleep a few hundred feet under water on scuba/rebreather... Well, actually, it's probably pretty easy, but once you nod off the waking up part becomes pretty difficult....

Am I the only one that has ever nodded off on a long boring dive or deco? I will say it jump-starts your heart when you snap to and realize what happened.
