I'd be very interested, but my one thought on seeing those pics is that it
would be very claustrophobic, especially with the noise, the thicker air and
the 'stonedness'. Has anyone who's done this pot dive tell us whether that's
an issue?

I only found it a problem being blown down in the air lock, once we were
in the chamber it was fine.

Welcome to UKRS

I think it's a useful thing for any diver to do, if nothing else it's a
