Supprised they just walk up and down the plank with no safety rope what looks to be 100+ feet above water.

What would been awesome was.alongside the tube that goes straight down into the depths would be to have a clear viewing tube alongside it with a stairway and elevator system that u can go down when it's submerged to view directly under the water yet I know it's defunct idea considering you can just dangle down a video camera system.
