Hi im Diana from St.Mark Catholic School. I was wondering how long you guys stay at the diving site. How many times do you dive per day.Thank you.

Hi Diana,Great questions!
We have been doing 1 or 2 dives per day. Today was an example of a
two-dive day. Here was our schedule.
8:30 Leave Dive Locker
9:55 Arrive at Dive site
10:00 Dive #1 (maximum depth=113 feet, time in water=44 minutes)
10:45 Warm up in dive hut for 50 minutes
11:00 Dive #2 (maximum depth=73 feet, time in water=39 minutes)
12:00 Heading back to McMurdo in the Pisten Bully
2:00 Arrive back at McMurdo. Clean dive gear.
We dove this site once yesterday, twice today, and might dive there
tomorrow. After that, we'll probably be looking to drill another dive
hole at a new site.
Thanks for writing!
Mike
