Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Anchor System
Hi Tye,
Noop I didn't forgot that. Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. My
opinion is that if everything else fails and I have to lose some thousand
dollars in equipment to stay alive then be it. If the depth is not beyound
it, I would abandon the sub with a scuba tank to survive. Alive you can fix
everything else in life "theoretically", dead you won't be able to do
nothing at all. Not even making a new sub.
