I come up with 1,044ft or 0.178 miles for the Sea dive. No doubt they were using tri-gas for this. Regular oxygen mix would have made their head explode.
This tri-gas in its infancy was used by divers to explore a lost german sub off the coast of New Jersey in the early 1990's (U-869) the sub itself was only at 230 ft deep but the ocean currents made it deadly to explore. The book (Shadow Divers) records this discovery. Some of the crew used tri gas to enable them to not only stay down longer but also help them accelerate decompression on the return. If these divers actually dove that deep in the open ocean no doubt tri-gas or and adaptation of it played a large part in their survival. Interesting.
