Thanks' Alan,

It is pretty simple really, it mounts horizontal to the aft head  with the hatch inside the sub.  In case I have to use it, I undo 8 bolts that hold it to the sub, then climb in the pod.  The water pressure will hold the pod tight against the reinforcing ring while the bolts are removed.  I will have a control rod that extends from the flood valve to the pod.  I pull the rod that opens the flood valve, I close the hatch immediately and wait for the pressure to equalize.  The pod releases and orients itself vertical with the hatch pointing to the surface and heads to the surface.  I release air from a small hp tank inside that inflates a bladder (truck inner tube)  to keep the sphere upright at the surface and provides a safe amount of freeboard.    I have the port in the hatch  so I know whats going on.   

Hank

Looks good Hank,

I'm still not sure how it's going to operate, but I guess it will become

clearer as you post pics of it installed.

Here is my escape pod under a vacuum test.  I am doing the deep test Tuesday at Slocan Lake.   Ignore the ugly paint job, no point getting fancy if it is lost to the depths.
