Antartic Diving

[Ian]

Got an e-mail from Kevin Magee I thought I would forward. I put it in equipment because it has a large content on cold water equipment and regulator tests. Ian



Since we are in the depths of a particularly cold snowy winter, I thought this web site was appropriate.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to dive Antarctica, this web site gives you a good feel for it. It tells about the daily routine, dive equipment, and dive operations. It has a lot of pictures and lots of useful cold-water diving information, including a list of regulators and how they did in very cold (28 deg F) water.

There is also a gallery of photos of the underwater scenery from grounded icebergs to the native fauna. Many of the shots are quite spectacular.
