2 divers from GUE has set a new world record for longest cave dive.
During the 7 hour long dive, the dived 11,25 kilometre, while carrying 20 tanks with 7 different gas mixes. As a ‘bonus’ after the dive, they had to do 15 hours of decompression.

Other than being the longest cave dive yet, it is also the longest dive between 2 different entry points. The cave system they dived, is the 4th largest in the world.

National Geographic has also an article about this dive: here.

On the GUE website there is another here.

According to this article (sorry in Danish): article we soon could run out of Helium.

Helium for trimix diving is already expensive as it is, but it does not seem to get any cheaper.

Therefore I am seriously considering getting a rebreather.
The model I want is the Sentinel Rebreather, but £5400 + extra for the course is quite a lot of money.

But I am ‘afraid’ i am doing it anyway
