New sub has 2 x 1.0” valves. Originally had 2 x 2” valves but I was concerned that while fast looked good the last pressurization from say 5 bar to 12 bar will be very fast because of reduced amount of water to increase that pressure. If you are in shallow water say under 100 ft then I think large is good but if it takes 33 seconds to reach full pressure it will take only approx half that to increase from 33 ft equivalent at half full. That is diving at a rate of 360 ft in 15 seconds. I am concerned that maximum diving speed is 90 ft / minute which is why I downsized my valves to the 2 x 1.0”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I found this programme for estimating flooding times from I cant remember where but it gives out some numbers.
