The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.

    Is 850 feet deep enough to get the bends? I thought that was just dives deeper than a couple thousand feet.

    I chose 850 because that’s the average depth of the Adriadic Sea, though it has a maximum depth of 4050 feet, so if they are in the deeper parts, that would definitely be a concern. I would think they’d use a mini sub if it was though.

    • 850 feet? You can get decompression sickness at, believe it or not, just 20 feet.

      600 feet is generally the max for commercial diving, and that requires extensive decompression.

      850 feet is for record attempts, not work. I think 1000’ or thereabouts is the world record.
