[PSUBS-MAILIST] submarine escape procedures

[Clifford Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

See  http://www.subdb.info/database/   scroll down to R300.  See section on emergency procedures in operating manual and second page of briefing card.

Calcs show it takes about a minute for hatch to spring open after I open the scuttle valve.  During this time I will be using my BIBS(second stage scuba reg attached to Boat air supply). I have a Steinke hood in protocol but not sure I would use it.  Had a long discussion with doctors and tech divers.  As Phil notes ,  issue is onset of nitrogen narcosis rather than bends given the short time exposed to pressure.  Would be an uncontrolled ascent.

My escape procedure calls for staying in place and waiting for rescue.  Bailout only given events called out on safety briefing card.
