Herbert Nitsch 214m News from Greece

[CEngelbrecht]

Just for you info I have just up-loaded Herbert's 111m Constant weight record to YouTube...

MIG

I'm curious... where exactly did you get the bottom footage from? The piece of video showing Herbert's turn at the plate?

So today is the day... we have checked out Herbert's ears and although they are not 100% I think we have a "Go", I have set his L.E.A at -170m, hopefully it will last until -214m.

For those who are interested, AIDA International will publish the dive profile from THE dive just minutes after Herbert surfacing. Visit the AIDA website and check under news.

Bill tells me that we have a superb connection (Thanx again ALKI)

Peace... MIG

What was L.E.A.?

 

[jome]

Guessing from the context L.E.A refers to "last equalization alarm"
