The calm before the storm

Alex S (the inventor and conceptual maestro), is now developing the braking system from deep tests with the 1^st “CH”. The “FP”, which is designed to push Herbert into the shoulder straps on the assent, is also being modified to allow expansion of the torso during Packing.

We have some problems getting some things on the island, for instance we can only get hold of 1 Gay Light (a pink 2W LED light capable of descending to the required 200+ m).

We also require redundant O₂ kits in addition to the 3 we already have been using. The Kits we have at the moment are: - Decompression (at depth, 5-9m depending on the dive profile and O₂ quality), Surface Deco and 1^st Aid. For the record FilmOn and Bios have generously allowed us to have exclusive use of their Deco Chamber in the case of emergency, which just happens to be on site.

Weather was not good this morning and we (well I) are glad we could not get go out… Bluugghhh big swell!). Thankfully the rain has stopped and its 1 hour till the boat officially leaves… I best start getting my kit together….
