For the non divers out there, these depths and bottom times are well past the no decompression limits for diving on air. Such dives really require considerable decompression time and a good amount of time spent on the surface between dives. Multiple deep dives ,on air, like that in the course of one day is just bad.

If these exporters really want their divers to collect deep water fish, they should be supplying their divers with proper training and equipment.
