The deep-diving record went back to France last week. At 10:09 one morning, on the Atlantic 160 miles off Dakar, the French navy's bathyscaphe FNRS 3* submerged. Three hours later she settled on the bottom, 4,050 meters (13,287 ft.) down, beating Professor Auguste Piccard...
Old Professor Piccard, in Brussels, had no direct comment on losing the depth record. Though 70, he has not turned in his deep-diving badge, and the Trieste, he said, is being outfitted for new adventures. He is also busy designing a mysterious "mescoscaphe," which he refused to describe.
Smalls Wins Diving Event
In the remaining event, Pete Smails topped teammate Marshall Walters off the three-meter board, showing some of his best diving of the year.
In the diving, Fred Eton and Art Marvin have both looked good, but Brooks is hoping that Joe Ellis, whom he considers a diver of national calibre, will come out for the team in the near future.
