[PSUBS-MAILIST] deep water tests - release machanism
Andre,
 
According to my old school atlas the Bodensee has a 
depth of 252 mtr. Lake Geneva is 310 mtr. deep. These are sheltered waters 
in which you could test a 100 mtr. sub. If you want to go deeper you would have 
to go to the Mediterranean. 
 
I think it would be wise to strip the sub 
completely. Or even better, don't even buy the motors, air tanks and 
electronics before you have tested the pessurehull. 
 
Talking about hartbeat. I think you need some 
tranquilisers when you see your sub disappear is the deep blue sea and you sit 
there waiting for the bubbles to come up.
