BIBS is a Built In Breathing System, a ready to hand scuba rig per passenger that is REALLY ready to hand. We worked too deep back in the day to even think about bailing out, so I hadn't really given this a lot of thought. I will now. Thanks.

BIBS air is pulled (usually) off the sub's main air supply
Hi Vance. I was planning on keeping two 30 or 40 cu. ft. scuba tanks inside with regulators attached for " just in case" I need to flood the sub or smoke happens. These are the skinny ones so a guy should be able to get through the hatch with one. ( well, a skinny guy like me anyway. )
Probably shoulda made the hatch a little bigger.
