John Bennett completes world record dive using the OMS BC, cylinders and Phantom Dive Light!
To OMS from John Bennett:
" Hello John
I wanted you guys to be among the first to know. I dived yesterday on the first of the series. I reached a depth of 308m/1010 ft. The dive was checked by the IANTD franchise and a PADI CD. It was also covered by NG and Star TV.
I would like to thank you guys for your help and support, I do appreciate it. Without your help the dive would have been very hard to achieve.
The dive was hard, but I got out of the water 9.36 hours.
Your equipment was superb, the light worked great. We have the light on film at the bottom depth. Tanks were great and were essential, buoyancy characteristics are great. Wings worked well as well. I hope you will be pleased with the coverage.
I will be able to get photos together over the next few days with a full dive report.
Regards John Bennett."
