[PSUBS-MAILIST] Acceptable cabin pressure swing

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

When I dive Gamma, I find I have a slight negative pressure for most of the dive as the air shrinks from the cold.  The temperature swing is huge from surface to 100 feet.   As a rule when I dive for any length of time I balance the sub out to Zero on the altimeter by either turning on the compressor or giving a shot of air before I start to surface.  It is pretty easy to keep the sub within 100 feet from set point on the altimeter, and that is my comfort level.Hank

 Is it possible to correlate the alarm to temperature change in cabin from start of dive? Pressure change might well be over 4 psi if it is hot outside and the water is cold.

I think this is somewhat subjective but what is general consensus on maximum cabin pressure swing (higher/lower) relative to hatch closing at the start of a dive before setting off alarms?  My thought is that an alarm should sound well before any point of emergency.  I'm considering sounding a warning at 2psi +/- and an alarm at 4psi +/-  but I'm not sure if this is too strict.
