okay there’s like Beverly froze but
okay there’s like Beverly froze but we’ve got Guillermo back one Explorer
we’ve got Guillermo back one Explorer
we’ve got Guillermo back one Explorer two explorers at a time max I think it’s
okay monie is it Dante right better
okay monie is it Dante right better looking at he just go down yeah just
looking at he just go down yeah just
looking at he just go down yeah just hold the camera on him and we’ll watch
so I suppose that’s his light we could
so I suppose that’s his light we could see in the water yeah just hold the

I was wondering FM we vary the speed
I was wondering FM we vary the speed preservation underwater but does that
preservation underwater but does that
preservation underwater but does that make the excavation all the more
make the excavation all the more
make the excavation all the more difficult
yeah are you asking whether or not it
yeah are you asking whether or not it makes it more difficult because there’s
makes it more difficult because there’s
makes it more difficult because there’s good preservation no just because of
good preservation no just because of
good preservation no just because of obviously you say that the benefits of
obviously you say that the benefits of
obviously you say that the benefits of there being good preservation but
there being good preservation but
there being good preservation but because it’s on the water
because it’s on the water
