<div>Thanks Jim,</div>
<div>That was quite interesting.</div>
<div>In the hatch picture they have a stop valve with a bend, then an over pressure</div>

Location: Key Largo
I notice they had a much calmer sea then we did for Snoopy out on Pickle Reef.
They have a cover over the dome to block the sun prior to diving and I noticed a
huge difference in colors within the sub due to the blue ocean light. Look at
the VHF handheld radio in front of the pilot before diving and submerged. I'm
thinking maybe I'm going to want to change my electronic displays to blue
instead of red.

All,
Gizmag had a good article on U-Boat
Worx' C-Explorer 2 sub. The link below is to a pic
of the hatch latch mechanism and some plumbing which I
presume includes the OP valve. Lots of other pics
there to scroll through as well. -Jim
