Mission Journal 14-Dominic Hove: Mission Day 3: Wednesday, Dec 8, 2004 Today was a short diving day for the new aquanauts, as we rotated four divers in the water so they could utilizes a low pressure underwater hydro-blaster to clean the outside of the habitat. All divers had a limited excursion time of two hours and a clean time of six hours before decompression could be started. Mark Hulsbeck was locked in to assist with decompression (DECO), for all six of us are required to breathe 100% oxygen for three 20 minute periods. Roger Garcia had completed about 90% of the DECO checklist and everything is moving along smoothly. At 1800 hours we started are ascent to the surface. While breathing oxygen we are required to relax and stay in our bunks until oxygen phase is complete. DECO is a very slow process taking 16 hours. Reluctantly, I fell asleep knowing that tomorrow we would be that much
closer to the surface and this would soon come to an end. |
