Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Emergency tapping code...



Good one, Ian.  Could come in real handy.

Another useful trick:  if  a diver puts his ear up against a hull as thin as
mine is, he can hear me shouting  inside.  If he inflates a dive glove and
shouts into it while it's up against the hull; or if he shouts while his
full-face mask is pressed against the hull or viewport;  I can hear him.

At first, our sub-to-support crew communications consisted of yelling.  This
time around, however, we've got two-way surface radio, a surface /
underwater PA system; and a HELLEPHONE between the sub and one diver.
Obviously, I think this kind of equipment is good to have aboard.
