Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Stimulation
Bail out is the last ressource, when drop weights
and air for ballasting had run out without success.
An ambient sub, wet or dry, is safer when submerged
since it is always possible to get out in less than 15 seconds. A ambient
sub has no life threatening situations, a 1 atm sub can have.
Unless a 1 atm sub has a lockout chamber, it is
impossible to get out without external assistance, some personal 1 atm subs have
a self flooding capacity but it takes a while before you can bail
out.
Time you may not have specially in a irreversible
and uncontrolled descent......
Though in a ambient sub, breathing air under
pressure brings limitations in depth and duration of the dives.

Question for all of us.
Which is safer in the event of a problem while
submerged. A wet sub or a 1
ATM sub????
