The temperature swing is huge from surface to 100 feet. As a rule when I dive for any length of time I balance the sub out to Zero on the altimeter by either turning on the compressor or giving a shot of air before I start to surface. It is pretty easy to keep the sub within 100 feet from set point on the altimeter, and that is my comfort level.</span></div><div id="yiv5293315079yui_3_16_0_1_1456352455644_4424"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="yiv5293315079qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5293315079yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv5293315079yqt1215055504" id="yiv5293315079yqt87400"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Wednesday, February 24, 2016 2:58 PM, Lasse Schmidt Westrén via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv5293315079y_msg_container"><div id="yiv5293315079"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Is it possible to correlate the alarm to temperature change in cabin from start of dive?

I think this is somewhat subjective but what is general consensus on maximum cabin pressure swing (higher/lower) relative to hatch closing at the start of a dive before setting off alarms? My thought is that an alarm should sound well before any point of emergency. I'm considering sounding a warning at 2psi +/- and an alarm at 4psi +/- but I'm not sure if this is too strict.<br clear="none">
