Nope...

I was not sure about the safety of the drop weight since Big is an ambient 
sub. The battery pod is filled with lead. it weight about 600 pounds. I made 
the pod so it can be dropped. I only need to install the control inside the 
sub if I ever change my mind.

I am not sure it is a good idea to drop 600 pounds out of a total of 1300 at 
let's say 60 feet and go rocket to the surface. For one, the hull may not 
survive the pressure. I may not survive the change in decompression. If the 
hull craked, the sub will be more heavy with water and go down again if I 
don't exit fast enough.

So what I did is make an escape from the sub easy. I have a pony tank with 
me inside the sub that can easyly be carried on my controled way to the 
surface.

Anybody have any though about that?
