I want to ask "Why?", but I know there is no logical answer to the question. I hope it turns out better than Guy Garman's record attempt.
IMO, these OC scuba depth records are generally a fool's quest. If you really need to do something 400 meters under the ocean, the technology to do it with relative safety exists. Get a diving bell and saturation rig and do the job right! Why attempt to do it with a minimum of equipment that is inadequate to handle even the most minor deviations from a plan that may be unrealistic to begin with? It's not like this is even close to setting an actual diving depth record. It's just going deeper than anybody else has gone with equipment that is not designed to go deep.
