Thanks Stan...Yes, short story but,Amazing. They are working 7 days a week and the divers are going into a on site hyperbaric chamber when they get up from their dives,.lasting only 40 min. at a time..That would make one heck of a Wreck site....Guess we will find out this coming summer ,when they hope to be done with the work.They're racing to beat the weather & winds so it doesn't break up from tides & fall into the Abyss below.Another tragic event to add to 2012.

It was impressive to see how they are trying to keep it in tact and minimize the environmental damage. But it also looks like it will be a while before they get it out of there, and whether they make it before it breaks up is going to be the challenge.

Here's the link to the full segment. I don't understand why divers need deco chamber after 40 min dives. Must be multiple jumps over 8-12 hour day.
