<DIV>Scott,</DIV>
<DIV>We had a thread on it a couple of months or so ago. When I first read
about it, it scared the heck out of me. Then I read that the float
that supports his snorkel has enough buoyancy (on purpose) that his sub
can't pull it under and thereby limits his depth. Since his air supply is from
the surface instead of being on board, I would assume the fan-driven ventilation
loop therefore exhausts his exhaled air. Frankly it still seems a bit
scary, just not as much as at first. One of the articles make a passing
reference to it having several safety systems, and I think his dad is an
engineer, so hopefully none of the future articles will be in the obit
section.</DIV>
