"there are two pedalling sets, one at the back and one at the front and we will switch seats every four hours" Perhaps the one on the back doesn't need to push so hard!! |

They're mad.
But looking at their web site - the wooden bits are only fairings, not pressure hull. Andy |

I did wonder that myselfMore to the point what are they doing to remove co2
which will be generated big time if they are exerting themselves peddaling.Do the crew need oxygen masks etc, or is there also some pump that has a snorkel above the water to exchange the air.

I had also thought that and assumed it was a typical journalistic error. 10m per atmosphere, 100m would be 150lb/in^2 Not the easiest thing to test. Perhaps drop below a boat to 150m as a proof test and see what comes back up? They may also be confused about the depth of the English Channel, which is in the order of 100m. |
