Brian,
The square external sub is a good idea and found other on other subs.

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

  For me having a way to secure the hatch from the outside would be
nessesary if I was surfaced and decided to go outside the sub but I wanted
to make sure the hatch was closed in case of waves and water getting into
the sub if it was anchored in rough water.  But one thing I don't like about
having a handle on the outside top of the hatch is that it is a good place
where a old rusty cable could get hooked on there and snag your sub and get
you hung up.  For that reason I was thinking of just having a 3/4" square
stub sticking up where I could attach a temporary handle to dog down the
hatch from the outside if I needed to.
