Hours of routine followed by moments of sheer terror

In this case, where one's peers understand the implications of a controlled descent to the Og', a conscious decision to dunk it, and they then elect to offer "well done's" to the crew and thanks to the Almighty for a safe outcome, they are often received with the usual slightly embarrassed "it was nothing and the drills worked".

However, this does not undervalue the effort, skill and good fortune necessary to pull it off.

Would'nt want to spend anytime swimming deep water in that area, it is quite notorious for the larger variety of "Hungry Johnny".

A great team effort by all concerned, well done.
