Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] atmospheric control



You can get the bends from extended periods even at shallow depths like 40 feet. You can also do serious damage to your lungs, eyes, sinuses,ears, etc. by coming up too fast.
    As for controlled ascents, if you bail from the sub, you probably won't be waiting around for your buddy unless you've got a good air tank. I plan on carrying two 40 cu.ft. bottles with regulators. They are slim and will clear the hatch while strapped on. A "horse collar" BC is a good idea too. Not bulky at all, and with it inflated, it will keep your face out of the water even if you're unconscious. Frank D.
