Greg,

I do not think you are fooling yourself. A hatch like that should work well in an ambient sub.

Dear Psubbers –

I am in need of some advice.

As I refit the sportsub, I wanted to add an additional window that can serve as an escape hatch.

I thought I would do this in the front lower section (by my knees and shins when sitting).

My design can tolerate an oval 27” by 16”. I can fit through if need be.

I am looking at a commercially available window at the following link:

Model 71111 cut to these dimensions with the hinge removed and bow handles in their place.

My question is do you think that this will stay sealed in an ambient cabin at a maximum of 130 feet?

Or am I just fooling myself.

Open to suggestions-

Thanks-

Greg
