How long do the air tanks last?
There are many variables that affect how long tanks of air will last underwater. Pressure increases as you go deeper, which means that you consume more air the deeper you dive. Another factor is how much work you are doing underwater. A diver that is working hard underwater, or is very cold, will consume more air than someone who is relaxed. But to give you an example, a standard tank which holds 80 cubic feet of air would last approximately 40 minutes in 40 feet of water (such as on the shipwreck General Butler) but would only last 26 minutes on a dive to 80 feet (such as the shipwreck Water Witch). How far was the boat from land? The wreck is somewhere in the middle of the lake between Willsboro, NY and Burlington, VT. Why were the fish glowing on the video? The fish are silvery colored, so the light from the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) reflects off their shiny skin. Was the boat a house or just for business? Both.
