Jon and Charlie's dive at Cathedral made the news...

Nice work Jon, Charlie & KUR!

Pardon my ignorance, but did they really use

15 closed-circuit rebreathers

or was the article meant to say scooters ?

LOL

No, that was a mistake, they both used one of the Fathom mCCRs each and 4 Suex scooters each. I can't even fathom the cost of 15 rebreathers.

Fathoms and Suexes instead of Megalodons and Genesises (Geneses?)? Madness.

I think there are different records for longest dive from one entrance to another vs this one being longest distance from the entrance without surfacing.
