RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] ADS NewtSuit/HardSuit Applications

Hi, Jay:
 Yeah, the 'giant flash' was one of Em Kristof's deals. (He was  in charge
of photography, I was in charge of underwater operations and Dr. Joe
MacInnis was the expedition head) -It wasn't a string, but a giant net
bundle of 50's  'Press Camera' -style tungsten bulbs (each about the
physical size or slightly bigger than today's 100 watt bulb) 
Only a couple of the bulbs were wired - the rest would fire sympathetically
as long as they were touching each other. It didn't get the results
intended and Joe MacInnis and I didn't let Emory forget it! Too bad, would
have been a great shot.  Later, we had a sort of a 'candelabra' of 1000
watt quartz lights suspended through the ice hole and positioned about 75
feet above the 'Breadfalbane'  and the water was so clear that I could see
a huge portion of the wreck as I approached it in the 'Wasp' - pretty
exciting, since I was the first person to see her in 130 years! There's
been a number of bookwritten about this particular expedition   - probably
"The Breadalbane Adventure" and  "The land that devours ships" are the
best. 
        It was a long expedition and a lot of work - but also a lot of fun!
I brought a top crew of ADS guys from Can-Dive and the 'Wasp' dives went
off without a hitch.
Phil
