59 minutes and 30 seconds!
The day winter decided to come to Rothera with large amounts of snowfall.Terri and I managed to beat the season record with a dive time of 30 seconds shy of an hour. We had air left to complete the hour but had collected the Latties we needed to so headed to the surface.
This is a picture of us getting in the water which was covered in a mix of Shuga ice and Brash Ice as well as Icebergs. We were in collecting Laternula elliptica which are molluscs that have to be dug out of the sediment very carefully so as not to break their delicate shell. Patience is needed.
