I would describe a K250 as a big hole in the water waiting to fill up whenever the hatch is open, but I agree Emile's boat is something entirely different. Also, in my experience there is a huge difference between boarding one person or two. If it's just me, I can time it better and slam the hatch right behind me, but if there's someone inside the sub before I get in, it slows down the move a lot and makes me a whole lot more worried about the consequence of a mishap. I can quite see a situation where a two person load would be too dangerous but a one person dive might still be accomplished.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br>Alec</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 12:09 PM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Emile,</div><div>we abandoned a dive in Snoopy 4 miles off the Florida Coast in what didn't seem like big seas.</div><div>It looked too dangerous to board.
