Here is my 2 cents worth..
I tested my sub to 10 feet in a small pond,
mostly to check for leaks, and to make sure everything worked right.. I then got
some advise from 2 experienced subbers, and they both suggested to do the
unmanned deep water test.. I thought it over, and decided that I had too much
money and time tied up, to just leave the sub there, if there was a problem..
again, the problem could be as simple as a leak, not a total
collapse.. I contacted a local company that pressure treats lumber, and
after some talking, they decided they could help me out. I tested my sub
in their pressure chamber, after being convinced that a failure of my sub, would
not damage any of their equipment..for me this was the best way to go, but the
longest few hours of my life wondering if all my hard work would pay off.. The
only problems I encountered was the pressure went up very fast, and came off
even faster.. 0-400 feet in 15 seconds, 400 - 0 feet in 0.5
seconds..
