When he spoke to the BBC, Creasman talked about the digging process and said that they went “as far as [they] could.” Even though the staircase only had 65 steps, they only “got about 40 stairs down until [they] hit the water table.” He went on, “[We] knew we wouldn’t be able to go any further without putting our heads under.”

There was also more danger lurking in the submerged burial area. Divers who went into the chambers had to risk getting trapped there if the rocks around the opening collapsed. Creasman decided to rely on a steel chute to strengthen the entry space. One had to struggle through the chute to gain access to the tomb. The archaeologist was pretty much blind as he slid through it because small particles rendered the water impossibly murky.
