70m is not that far!!

We did 70-80m dives in the sinkholes in Mount Gambier region. Admitedly is
was a *loooooooooong* time ago ('73 IIRC) and I was quite young, and a
helluva lot fitter........ and we used Hookah gear.

SCUBA divers can get down a lot further than 70m........ it's just the coming
back up that's a bitch :-)
