The packing is almost done, just the 100 kg plus of luggage to drag through the airports! Once again I really do need to say thank you to all the dive equipment manufacturers who have jumped in with offers of sponsorship.  My very good friends at Analox (www.analox.net) are looking after the gas we breathe with an ATA Trimix Analyser, an O2EII Nitrox Analyser and an EII CO Carbon Monoxide Analyser.  Not only that but they are very generously helping finance part of the expedition.  Without these guys we would be a bit stumped.

The ANALOX Analysers tested and ready for packing

Next in the bags is the warm and toasty HALO 3D from Fourth Element.  Fourth Element (www.fourthelement.com) are one of the major sponsors of the project and a mountain of their thermal gear has already been shipped and is on site.

The HALO 3D - looking for a space in one of the bags!

Santi Drysuits (www.santi.pl) have kindly lent a dry suit and active heating systems. With luck I will have surface supplied power in the habitat.  I will update the blog with progress on that once we have got it up, running and fully functioning.

More kit, this time from Santi Drysuits

Liquivision (www.liquivision.com) have loaned some X1 computers too 🙂

Last but certainly not least, Imtech (www.imtech.eu) are sponsoring the habitat. Imtech are a European-wide company specialising in major electrical, mechanical and ICT engineering works. I am looking forward to working with them post expedition to look at environmental control for habitats to make these types of project even safer.
