Just like scuba diving, would you go out sub diving all by your self? No.
This is where planning your dive comes in to play. This is where having
several days of life support on board, comes into play. This is where
communications comes into play. You are still chewing on your arm. I can
understand leaving the sub if your building a sub to Carsten's proportions.

Adam,
Oh, but we do!
Being entangled in something bigger then I can drag, or heavier then my
drop
weights is the primary reason to have a scuttle valve. Anyone designing a
sub, worth his weight in water, has entanglement on his mind continuously.
By that same reasoning, any designer worth his weight in water, would
DISCUSS and design in a scuttle valve so, in spite of the best laid plans
of
mice and men, he doesn't find himself entangled at ten feet below the
surface DISCUSSING plans with his maker because external pressure is
preventing him from getting his hatch open.

You guys should talk about designing your subs as to minimize there
ability
to get hooked on things. And then designing rudders, manipulators, and
dive
planes that can be jettisoned. A sub is a system and you're an integral
part
of it, why plan on chewing your arm off, instead, you should build a
better
trap (sub) and know how to use it.

I would suggest also having some form of floatation. What I have
learned is when you're surfacing, you have to let some air out of your
lungs or they'll burst. So have something you can exhale into or some
form of floatation becuase when you let air out of your lungs you're
also decreasing your floatability.
