The Dive Aqaba Tec team joined forces with the Seastar Dive crew and the 166.6m team after Rohan left for personal reasons...

Mark Ellyatt and Rod Abbotson achieved the target depth thanks to the support of the original team organised by Duncan Baillie and Jason Link who completed prep dives over the last few days with the Dive Aqaba team before the scheduled day for the big dive...

Mark & Rod used Pelagian Rebreathers piggy backed onto twinsets of 9/60 dil giving plenty of bottom bail out..all went to plan and the team supported us well.

Special thanks to George Ionita for sponsoring Mark Ellyatts visit to Aqaba without which this all would have not been possible.
