1000 Foot Dive
Wow, I just read that the 1000 foot berrier was broken by a diver. I can't imagine what that must have been like and on top of that, all the planning that must have been involved.

Re: 1000 Foot Dive
The french went to 1643 feet in 1977 according to my trusty US Navy Dive Manual. There are also mentions of other dives at well past 1000 feet. Commercial divers have been going down that far for a while.<br><br>Mike

Re: 1000 Foot Dive
The interesting thing about the 1000 foot record was that it was for a nonsaturated dive using scuba with in-water decompression. The 1977 dive was a saturated dive not using scuba and using out of water decompression. I think it may have been from a submarine?<br><br>Derrick

Derrick,<br><br>On Tuesday November 6, 2001 John Bennett descended to 305m on open circuit scuba, his total dive time was over nine and half hours and despite some complications on his ascent John surfaced in good shape and is now recovering and resting at Atlantis. <br><br>I'll find the full report and get it to you, it was a good read.
