Your exploits on the Titanic alone are the stuff that legends are made of. 8)

One day please promise to share with us when your spare-air failed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench (35,813 ft) with 15,751 psi of bone crushing pressure making any possibility for escape seem utterly hopeless! :shock:

Avast.. :D his spare air did not fail. he found a compartment with some air left in it after all these years. took a DEEP breath then swam down to the engine room where he Gerry rigged one of those massive steam engines to compress a minute quantity of air into the spare air.

As you know.. air expands as pressurte is lessened, so he had enough to keep breathing all the way to the surface.

Thats all there is to the story
:shock:

You've confused Bryan's Titanic exploits with his world record dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Remember, the Titanic isn't at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. 8)
