Dean, For increased buoyancy, this probably would be good…you have
to calculate your total volume to determine the gain. As for a VBT, I
would be hesitant to use it in that case. You want the VBT in line with
you center of gravity & buoyancy and in a compact form. With it
spread out around the perimeter of our sub and not needing the full volume to
maintain trim, then you have an air bubble that can shift around (free surface
effect) and it will play havoc with your trim when neutrally buoyant. A
little shift in body weight forward could result in the sub being nose down and
the tail vertical in the air. R/Jay Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas

before, and I'd say it's worth trying if you can get some used hose. That stuff
is pretty tough. Frank D.
