Sorry, this is really getting off of the original topic...

Chip, yes like Brian said, I'm pretty sure the Deepflight 502 is a one
atmosphere sub.  But if a person is building a high performance
ambient dry sub it really seems like you'd want to ensure safe descent
and ascent speeds.  And I say descent here  especially
because of my slowly equalizing ears!

The 502 does look a fair amount less streamlined than the original
DeepFlight.  I just wonder how many underwater enthusiasts have
signed up for a 'flight'?  Personally I've been terrible at
actually getting any sub rides in but my ToDo list is getting long:
  1) USSubs demo boat 
  2) Karl Stanley's Idabel
  3) DeepFlight Sub flight school
  4) Grand Cayman deep submersible dive (Atlantis?)
  5) Chesapeake Submarine Service school - advertised on PSUBS

Of these, I have the idea that diving with Karl Stanley in Honduras and
maybe the DeepFlight training would be the most interesting. 
Comments?

I heard they did not want to use it because it is to hard to control decent and accent speeds and that there was to much danger in decompression sickness from nitrogen buildup on fast accents. Not sure if it was true. I just heard it as rumor.
