[PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub (ish) story

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

I'm not sure that if someone referred to me as "mentally okay", I would consider that a glowing endorsement.

These are ambient pressure vehicles, and there is merit in achieving fast descent rates - particularly on deep / mixed gas dives, as a 310 fsw dive would be, as it minimizes the contribution of the descent to the overall decompression obligation. That said, "seconds" sounds ridiculously fast for 300 feet, but on those sorts of dives I don't lolligag about with 60 fpm rates either.
