 Pete,

 road for 6 hr and diving for 6 hr.  ;-)

  Pete,
  I have Gamma about 2 lb negative I dump all
 the
  air in the ballast tanks, then start
 sinking.  As I am
  sinking, I just give a
 swirt of air, with some practice I am
  able
 to stop and hover.  It is way easier than I though it
  would be.

 Hank,
   How you stopping and hovering. Are
 you
  weighted to  neutral
   buoyancy?Are you
  riding the
 bubble? Doesn't Gamma use
  
  forward motion and a dive plain for depth
 control?

    Today I dove Gamma
 to
  95
   feet in
    Kimbasket
  Lake (bush
 Harbour)  the
   visibility was
    awful.
   
 
 
  Maybe 2 feet at best.  Big mystery
 though, when I dive
    to 95 feet, in a
 matter of 5 min the
  pressure
   inside drops
    by
  500 feet.  The pressure
  
 stays right on
  perfect until
    I go deeper. 
   My
 theory, the water is glacier fed, very
  
 
   cold at depth causing the
  temp inside the sub to drop,
 
   creating
  negative pressure.  Could that
 be
   it? 
    Vance, did
 that happen in the north
   sea?  
    On a positive note,
  I can
 stop in
   the water Colum at any
    depth and hover.  I
  
 can
  surface and stop at ten feet
    and
   hover.
    Hank
