[PSUBS-MAILIST] onboard gear

[Shanee Stopnitzky via Personal_Submersibles]

Doesn't feel like it compared to Hank! Also, forgetting food, water,
blankets and a first aid kit. Forgetting those has been my specialty for my
whole life!

Steinke hoods are probably a good idea, although I'm terrified of them
myself. Does anyone have any information on what pressure change effects
happen physiologically during an emergency escape? I'm a diver so I'm very
familiar with what happens when you descend and ascend on scuba, but I'm
not sure what happens with a sudden and extreme pressure increase. Other
than all your organs getting squished, of course.

Thanks for your input everybody!

'Caught up in a mass of abstractions, our attention hypnotized by a host of
human-made technologies that only reflect us back to ourselves, it is all
too easy for us to forget our carnal inherence in a more-than-human matrix
of sensations and sensibilities. Our bodies have formed themselves in
delicate reciprocity with the manifold textures, sounds, and shapes of an
animate earth. Our eyes have evolved in subtle interaction with other eyes,
as our ears are attuned by their very structure to the howling of wolves
and the honking of geese. To shut ourselves off from these other voices, to
continue by our lifestyles to condemn these other sensibilities to the
