[PSUBS-MAILIST] todays dive

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi All, I just returned from a successful dive to 60 feet with aprox 1/4 mile transit, maybe more.  All thrusters worked perfectly with no water intrusion.  The air compensation system seems to be woking.  I was a bit heavy and dropped to the bottom very fast, but surfaced at a nice moderate speed.  The air was venting from the motors all the way up and continued at the surface for a bit.  The oil filled motors seem just fine, and I can tell by the expansion tube, it is not hard to squeeze, and is normal.  Also the motors sound perfect still.  I will run air lines to the back and compensate them as well.  I will add a second relief valve at the back to help vent.  Not sure why the 101's are giving trouble, but these little 30 lb motors are reliable as could be.I can take one apart and inspect just for the sake of clarity.Hank
