Simon: And then without the snort, how long could you stay under then?

It depends. If you’ve got a full battery, you’ve got fresh air in the boat, it’s not long since you’ve snorted, or been on the surface, 24 hours, maybe even longer.

So long as you don’t use much oxygen (laughs).

Oh, you can stay down for quite a long time. We tried to charge the batteries at least once every 24 hours, but with three or four hours charging.
