[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dive report - Pickles Reef

[Marc de Piolenc]

My thinking exactly in planning air intake into the cabin, drawn by and 
into the engine.

Good point about residual heat when diving. My only "solution" to this 
would be to provide a thermosiphon loop that would continue cooling the 
engine's heat exchanger while diving, but that would of course mean that 
the whole heat exchanger system would have to be built to withstand full 
dive depth. Not very satisfactory. I suppose one could either close off 
the engine compartment while diving or just spend some time on the 
surface prior to diving to allow the heat to dissipate.
