[greg cottrell]

Hi Emile,
 
Just wanted to let you know that I watched the videos you posted of your newest sub and it is a real work of art. Just beautiful.

Scott,
 
I your coast guard demands a approver life vest; there are very compact ones that can be inflated but jerking a trigger. (not inside the sub…)
The military sub escape suits might be too expensive unless you can purchase one over the expiry date.
Not tested yet but a great alternative (if you have the space) can be a divers drysuit with the possibility to breath from the inside. Personally I don’t like to use the Steinke hoods.

 at 3.18 a Steinke hood.
 
Emile

Is there some form of escape hood or suit that we could use? The navy uses these
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_Escape_Immersion_Equipment
Maybe something similar?
 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

>I’ve seen a lot of people put dive masks in their subs too. Gary Boucher used to take along a jar with a rag in a saturated solution of baking soda. The alkaline rag was for wiping down skin in the case of battery explosion. I carried that too originally, but dropped it when I went to AGM batteries. I know a K350 has batteries outside the cabin, but I mention it in case you have a hotel battery inside.

>Once you have your list, decide what actually needs to go in the sub and what can stay on the boat. I use two big plastic storage boxes, one labeled Surface and the other Sub. Items like the detergent don’t need to go in the sub, you just put that stuff on at the start of the day.
