Not on this and a useful number is the Peanut EOL distance from Challenge and Olse. My estimate is that the Peanut EOL is 800' from Challenge and 600' from Olsen.

I did the traverse recently and these were the distances (approximately):
OG - Challenge: 1800 feet
Challenge - Olsen: 1400 feet
Olsen - PI 1400 feet
swam for about 80mins.
Its been a while since I swam the traverse, but those numbers and times are pretty dang close.

Tim (netmage) and I did the traverse OG to P1 through Peanut last month. We had about 80 min RT before a long safety stop.

Oh, I forgot to say that my 80 mins was with 'one fin behind my back'...
I believe the surveyed distances are:
P-I to Pothole 458'
Pothole to Olsen 1036"
Olsen to Challenge 1434'
= 2928' P-I to Challenge.
I believe O-Grove to Challenge is just shy of 1800'.
Did the swim from O-Grove to P-I a month ago in :70. (approx. 60'/min.)
Did Challenge to P-I Sat. in :42. (approx. 70'/min.), after a very leisurely swim from P-I to Challenge (approx. 40'min.).
If you go by the distance markers, those numbers are bang on.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.

A couple of questions:
a) Anyone know offhand what their depth gauge gave as average depth after doing that traverse?
b) Has anyone done this not as a traverse, but as an out-and-return?
I think I see a fun dive coming up for my next trip...
