Jochen Hasenmayer - The story of a cave diving legend
The legendary cave diver Jochen Hasenmayer played an important role in the exploration of Keld Head, where he was involved in the notorious 'Dead Man's Handshake' incident (Geoff Yeadon's side of the story can be heard in this interview). This interview, in German, was originally conducted over the phone for an Icelandic radio documentary made by Jan Murtomaa. The questions were formulated by Jan in English, and translated and presented by Hjálmar Sveinsson in German. The English transcript was kindly created by Chris Snuggs. In this interview Jochen describes how his development of new equipment allowed him to continually push the boundaries of cave diving, even after a decompression incident left him paraplegic.

It would be interesting to compare Jochen Hassenmayer's rebreather with Bill Stone's rebreather. I wonder what Jochen forth and secret gas is? |
