Excellent point Ray. That would put them in the same position as a diver who drops his weights and rockets to the surface. Even yelling as hard as you could to expell the expanding air you could still burst the lungs.

HI Pierre,

 

Not one big weight though. Riding an ambient that is suddenly 100's of pounds lighter is bad. You could come up so fast you couldn't do the scuba divers emergancy ascent ahhhhh to get the expanding air out of you lungs fast enough. Clearing your ears could be a problem too.

 

If possible drop the weights in incriments of 10 pounds or some other simular small incriments. That way you drop enough to get you going but not so much you rocket to the surface.

 

Regards,

Ray

Hi guys,

Do you think a dry-ambient sub should have a drop weight? Is it overkill?

Any thought?
