Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] MK9 submarine escape suit for sale

[solomon D <solomondees@yahoo.com>]

The MK9 suit is a submarine escape suit, it is used
for exiting a submarine trapped on the bottom. It is a
drysuit with a hood meant to hold an ambient pressure
bubble around you head.I am reluctant to unpack it
becasue it is very difficult to get it back in the
small bag, but I will do it for you guys :).I will put
the pics on photobucket and send an email with links
to them. Amazingly they were able to get a volunteer
to come up from a depth of 700 feet in one of these
suits to prove it works.
