Christmas & System Development
A great family Christmas, followed by more work on the suit: today, installing two stainless steel fittings and some modifications to the seat armrests. In the mean time, two photos from the pool test: me with John Haslett, my expedition partner since 1998, and one of divers Ross Smith and Jeff Groth walking me backwards into the deep end of the pool, where they strapped me into the flying seat and ran through some pressurizations and depressurizations, while I communicated with John on the radio. Video still in process!
