Dan,
Remember that you will need to fittings...an inlet and an outlet if you are
to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the stranded submersible.  Plus you
will need a rescue force familiar with your setup and the necessary
equipment to affect rescue support.

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not plunge.

Some members of our local dive rescue team looked over my sub after it was 
completed.  One recommendation they had was to add a fitting and valve on 
the outside of the hull to allow them to inject air into the hull if I was 
inside and unconscious.  I never added it because I didn't like the idea of 
an open line into the hull without being in some closed system or with a 
closed valve on it.  It may be a nice addition.  At least, someone could 
dilute a contaminated atmosphere in the sub or increase the hull pressure if

needed.

Just a thought,
Dan H.
