Alan, That would have to be the silliest idea you have come up with.
Heard of bends, decompression? From:

On Behalf Of Alan James I
am thinking that it would be possible to turn a K250 or any sub into
a semi-ambient for an emergency situation where you needed to
go to 400ft. Example
--- Go down to your 250 ft limit & turn on an ambient system at
that point, this pressurizes the cabin as you progressively descend. Theoretically
you could go another 150ft, down to 400ft. I
guess you'd need a lot of tanks for a K250. Maybe more practical for Cliffs
sub wich is a bit smaller. You would need a dive computer for decompression
calculations, an over pressure valve, a modification of the
life support system wich could be as little as increasing the O2 flow
into the cabin. Also the instrumentation would need to take 75psi. The
ambient equalization system could be set up by having a outside pressure
reading & an electronic system that fed air into the hull when the
outside pressure was more than 125psi above the inside. Just
thinking. Alan
