 Hi Emile, 
  
My sub have that safety feature. But I installed 
valves on the outside of the sub. So if I pass-out, the divers can operate the 
valves and fill the ballast tanks. As you said, it is very easy to make and 
cheap also. 
  
There is 3 valves. 1 for venting the bottom of the 
tanks, 1 for high-pressure air inside the tank, and 1 for cutting the top vent 
in case when i pass-out I had the top vent inside the sub open.

  Hello, 
    
  A idea to make your psub a little safer.. 
    
  If a small psub is for one or another reason out of 
  compressed air or the pilot has a blackout, the support or standby divers can 
  do little or nothing.  
    
  If you place an inflator hose connector to the lower 
  side of the MBT or on top side with a sifon tube, divers can blow the MBT 
  from the outside. 
  It is  a low risk but it cost almost nothing in 
  time an money. No valves needed! 
    
  I placed this connectors on Pepper's and Carsten also 
  thinks it is a good idea. 
    
  Regards,
