Drmike  > Caving and Cave diving > Sra Keow II expedition (-200m), Thailand, May 06
Expedition to Sra Keow Cave in Thailand to continue our exploration of the cave.

Bottom divers Dr Mike Gadd and Cedric Verder explored to a depth of 191m and 200m (666ft) respectively laying new line from our last visit to 150m depth.

DrMike used an Ouroboros rebreather while Cedric used a Meg. Both units standard.

Decompression using VPM BE, dil 5/75 no dil switching, optimised setpoint switching.

Support divers were Bruce Konefe (US) and Thomas Bodis (DM). Thai translator Lek.

Habitats were placed at 12m and 4.5m to enable a place to drink and eat during the long deco and for use in case a diver is having problems.

Drmikes dive was 8 hours long, Cedrics 6 hours. Both divers exited the water without DCS (Drmikes knee pain turned out to be cartlidge issues)
