Wow, who was that chap in the last photo....  Grin I nearly had an heart attack  Amen That looks like a machine for breathing pipes of some sort.... for the diving  Idea Great photo's....

Homefire, we have big vehicles where the tires are the height of a man, these vehicles are being driven underground..... They strip the vehicle down to nothing and send it down the shaft in a small train carriage, to be re-assembled again underground..... These vehicles have V16 engines..... The underground train used to ride for about 1/2 an hour to take us to our place of work...... the tunnels are about 6 metres (18 Feet) square...... To go down the shaft, we used to go down in an elevator at 16 metres (48 feet) a second. Man that is scary...

Sh@# I think I'm starting to get old and I don't like the idea of this at all. Would love to go back to west coast for a while but not to go diamond diving but rather to explore the desert. He he he with what I know now I would not come back empty handed...Coming with?  Looking at the first photo is the compressor and two length of 100m air lines the six guys you see there were my survival kit they took good care of me no mater what and when I gave the signal to pull me out all six of them would pull it took six people to pull a diver out the water from 100m off shore against the currents and the sea weed I have a photo of Stompie he was my best guy the smallest of them all but a real fighter.  I'll scan the photo tomorrow to post it.

Hey Bones How are you doing  Grin

We only went to about seven meters some of the guys working off the boats went to twelve meters. There were 32 crayfish took them out in about one hour there were so many in those day's mind you I guess that there are still plenty as only a few of us were allowed in the area. Diamond in my safe? no mate there never were any in my safe as they were sold as soon as we found them by the concession holder.

All the best Xavier

Yeh and lets keep it that way till it's ready for distribution I think that they will love it. I'm hopeful that there will be sun shine on Sunday well I do hope so as I still have not done that testing that needs to be done with the new mod but it dose look promising. My brother in law spoke to me yesterday now he wants to know when I coming up to visit him then he tells me that I must fix the roof on the flat  Grin Grin
