 Hugh,
 My
 understanding is, use regular tank air because your bottom
 time is so short.  One of the members posted an allowable
 time chart for flooding.  I think it is something like 1min
 30 sec for 400 feet.
 Does Com Sub have a
 flood valve, Gamma never did until I put one in.

   Hi
 Guys,My two
  Steinke hoods turned up. Made
 in USA 1982. Still in good
  condition.  I 
 have looked at the escape training
  video
 which was great. Questions.  It is obvious you
  need a fill hose for the initial fill at depth
 prior to
  opening the hatch.  i.e. if you
 are at 10 atmospheres
  depth then you need
 to fill it with 10 atmospheres (bar)
 
 pressurised air. 1.      
  How many of
 you are
  adding a Steinke fill hose with an
 Aro coupling for this
  purpose. 
 2.      
  Breathing this will
  give you narcosis.  So is it better to have 2
 bottles
  of mixed gas for this purpose? One
 for 8-15 bar depth
  escapes and one for
 16-25 bar depth escapes.  Air could
  be
 used up to 8 bar.3.      
  What are
 the mixes
  recommended for these depths to
 prevent narcosis as it could
  take 5 minutes
 to pressurise and escape. Chs 
  Hugh.
