Just read about this. Really a brave man. The trip was organized by National Geographic - can't wait to see the documentary.

To give a sense of scale...

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Sounds like Cousteau forgot to take his meds that morning.

Does anyone know why the submersible would need to spin during the descent ?

Spinning keeps it in the area of the ship, where going down at an 60degree angle it would still end up miles away.
