<div dir="ltr"><div>When I went to Sub School back in 1966 we still had the training tank. We did ascents both with the Steinke Hood and with just the life jacket. Both systems had 2 psi pressure reliefs built into them. Ascent time from 50 ft was 8 seconds, I don't remember what the time was from 100 ft but it was something like 15 seconds. We had a bit of bottom time since we were doing it in small groups.<br>
<br></div>The divers that worked in the tank just used a mask and fins. They worked the whole tank just ducking into the open bells on the other side of the tank for air. They kept the water very warm for them since they were there for hours.<br>

<span>Thanks', I spoke with a diver friend about bailing out at 400 feet. He said it is very doable, but suggested taking a couple of breaths of another type of gas, I think it
may have been helium. </span></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span>Hank</span></div>
