That's why I'm sticking to my wetsub. As the
Aussie's say...."No worries".
I can just float right out.

That seems like a short amount of time! Isn't it common
to just not operate in water depths greater than your crush depth? Or
even your max operating depth?

One way of looking at the the margin is "how long do you
have to solve you problem before you hit crush depth". With
150feet safety margin, if you are sinking at 1 foot per second, the
time from max opteration depth to crush depth is 2.5
minutes. If you are decending at 2 feet per second, your time
is 1.25
minutes.
