@astrography__ @dcliem Aluminum shell has high thermal conductivity, so will be close to ambient. If ambient is cold, a thin layer of neoprene insulation around interior will keep occupant warm.

@dcliem Buoyancy adjusted by strapping diver weight belts around body of capsule. They’re prevented from sliding off by the 6 diver handhold attachments.

@MontanaSeptic @dcliem Testing for 3 more hours in LA, then it’s on a plane to Thailand

@dcliem Design based on dive team feedback (primarily Stanton): 4 air / oxygen ports front & rear, front ports protected by nosecone. Dual O-ring seal on acrylic rear plate with clear view of occupant head. Leak/buckling proof to 10X cave water pressure.

@annerajb @sivarajkumar237 @KO_Sulli @Grady_Booch @slashdot Python is done right. Great name story too.

@DocJohnG @dcliem If I am a narcissist (which might be true), at least I am a useful one

@sivarajkumar237 @KO_Sulli @Grady_Booch @slashdot 🖤🖤🖤 Python 🖤🖤🖤

@dcliem Pretty close. There is a nosecone on the front to protect against rocks impacting fwd air hoses with a hole on the side for hoses to exit.

@ayshardzn Given Chiang Rai airport hours, soonest we could’ve departed US was an hour ago, but cave now closed for diver rescue. Will continue testing in LA in case needed later or for somewhere else in future.

@DowdEdward Will do. Even if not useful here, perhaps it will be in a future situation.

Extremely talented dive team. Makes sense given monsoon. Godspeed. https://t.co/t5XRo3gTxK

@JelteDesign @maysacha Fitted for a kid or small adult to minimize open air. Segmented compartments to place rocks or dive weights & adjust bouyancy.
