Schedule

The below is a schedule of the expedition. As team designations are really arbitrary at this point… the way we see it, we need three groups or teams to be able to complete our tasks with lots of contingency, but it will give us maximum flexibility if we pick who is on one team or another on a day-to-day basis… that’s to say, a diver may be on Team A one day, Team B another and be part of the inwater Support Team on a third.
