We were talking about wet and dry suits kept in a sub for safety purposes today, so I found this new ABS rule to be relevant. "Section 3 General Requirements and Safeguards 31 Thermal Protection (2007) Based on the operational parameters of the unit, sufficient emergency thermal protection for all occupant is to be carried on board. The emergency thermal protection is to be capable of providing sufficient protection for the maximum dive time, as well as the reserve life support duration in accordance with Subsection 8/11 or 8/12, and the emergency life support duration a per Subsection 8/13 or 8/14."
