>> yeah. this is where we need to stay. >> you know, as we saw, there were two gentlemen there. i believe one was a diver, obviously, who headed to the ambulance, and beside him, may have been a part of the fire department. he was not in a dive suit. allen, if you were out in the weather, doing the work on the bank, you may be in a position where you're going to have serious issues of hypothermia yourself whether in the water or not. >> in this particular area, they have wind chill arne warnings. tulsa metro has wind chill warnings, and they have been on average from minus 15 to minus 25. >> we are going to continue to follow that rescue that's taking place in miama, oklahoma. thanks to ed larvandera, it's near tulsa, oklahoma. this truck slid off i-44 there
boat with us and he says he used to enter the water in a normal dive suit but last time he went diving a couple weeks ago he saw a chemical cloud under the water and wasn't going to take any chances anymore. so he says because he doesn't have hazmat training, now he can't enter the water to do his research on corals and fish to see what type of effect this oil crude dispersant mixture is having on the gulf. kiran, drew? >> if you guys have to suit up to that extent to get in the water, did felipe cousteau give you any indication of what he thinks, what effect that is having on the marine life out there obviously without suits on? >> reporter: yeah, well that's a really good point, kiran. because felipe and i felt very lucky to be under there. you almost felt a little guilty wearing such a protective suit when you'd see -- we saw sharks swimming around us, they didn't have anything to protect them and other fish. i think that's what bothers felipe the most, is that there is dispersed oil hanging there in the water column in about the first 30 feet of water in some
dive suit, yesterday, descended along the felipe cousteau to get a look at this water to see how the dispersants may have polluted the water. any idea what some environment lists or others might be thinking about felipe cousteau about news the old containment cap is removed by bp as hay make way for the new one? >> reporter: i haven't talked to felipe cousteau but he will be happy. they want bp to quit pumping dispersants in the water. we were diving around yesterday and saw little pieces of oil and according to felipe, that oil is toxic to fish eggs and larva. to explain that, one part per
under water tumble. >> you can be completely out of control in a dry suit, because there is air that could be moving around in your suit. when you're in a wetsuit, you are completely in control. you can just sit there, get your buoyancy compensated right, you put nine pounds of lead on your hips, you get' vest, and you can go up and down, you go up, take air out of it and go down. you can be upside down if you want and never, ever move. when you're in a dry suit, it's completely different, because then this is not stuck to your body. there are air bubbles underneath you, and those air bubbles can do completely strange things under water as you are in this dive suit. so she had to go through quite a bit of training, even though she was already a diver. to be a dry suit diver is completely different. dry suits are used for extremely cold temperatures. you can't be in a wetsuit in 34 degrees, doing something important down there. you need to be in this dry
our chad myers is also a diver. he says the visibility isn't very good. but in the middle of your screen, you can spot that shark. we've seen sharks go by time and again. our photographer, rich brooks, is the one bringing us this live picture. he is outfitted in a special dive suit, a suit that will keep them protected from all of the oil dispersants and whatever else might be out there in the water ch not going to protect you from a shark necessarily. but he described those sharks as being four to five feet long. the cables are going up to is surface where our ore correspondent is. this was our test shot. we were letting you listen in to how we set this whole thing up and the correspondence between our photographer who was down there and also our producer up on the surface. got us a clear signal. we're able to hear as well. so now our correspondent, as well as the environmentalist, philippe cousteau, will go down. the reason we have gone through this and put this together, to bring you a different kind of
