Today was sunny and warm all day After moving the barge, we began diving today to a depth of 128 feet. Initially we let the bell go down with all the necessary equipment then we had to swim down in complete darkness using the guide wires as a reference. As the Bell has lights we managed to find it after 2 minutes. Out task was to drill through some steel with a hydraulic drill. This was fairly easy and funny as we all suffered a bit of air narcosis at that depth. After finishing we were promptly on out way up again. The ascent however had to be controlled and took a total of 15 minutes (10 of which where done at 10 feet holding the guide wires. The best thing about this dive was the fact that we were using helmets instead of the band-masks. This kept our heads warmer and the comms were very clear.
