Glen,
A further thought on this is that you could have a valve on the
inside
of the sub & the ability to feed either your main ballast air, an
auxiliary
small 40 cubic ft tank or O2 through it to the emergency lift bag.
You could fill the 40 cubic ft tank with mixed gas for escape.
If you have enough main ballast tank air to fill the lift bag & it
fails to lift you free
you then have the mixed gas for escape. If you don't have enough ballast
air for the
lift bag you use the mixed gas or as a last resort O2.

Price is reasonable ,there's a lot of hand operated winches out
there(even hydraulic) which could be modified to be operated by the
pilot.The winch needs to release the spectra smoothly to prevent
overwinds and be fitted with a brake,must allso be easy to change
directionwhile the brake is engaged.

P.S. Next question, how do we hook the rope to a reel on the sub AND a
lifting eye.
