River,
the thought had come to mind to pump air directly in to a suit,
but in my one man application there will be so little space to
cool or heat that it wouldn't have much of an advantage, besides
I want to use the set up as a dehumidifier as well. I have 20
Peltiers ordered & I'll finish my model of my hull & try them
out in that!
Cheers Alan

You deliver all the cooling directly to the occupant and optimally reject heat directly to the outside water. All of this is another entanglement for the occupants though.

This is considered to be more efficient than heating up air and then forcing it into the living space. Similarly, perhaps several peltiers could be placed on the sub pilots person to directly cool him in the otherwise warm air environment? A set of cooling headband, wristbands, and leg/foot wraps to cool the blood where it is close to the surface of the body? You only need cooling while the sub is on or close to the surface.
