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..
