<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 362559, member: 6641"]Even in a modern sub going deep is a experience you never forget. We would tie a string from one side to the other on the surface. By the time we would get to test depth the string would sag by about three feet. The pressures outside the haul makes you understand that if anything went really wrong you didn't have to worry much about suffering long! The ride to the surface can be better than any amusement ride. When the COW hits the chicken switches ~ it's an elevator ride that reminds you of the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate factory only on a much larger scale. Real deep to the surface in less than a minute and then a full broach like in the movie hunt for red October. I don't envy the divers that go as deep as you did, dangerous is an understatement!</p><p> I would love to use that detector off the coast of Sebastian inlet, FL. If I didn't have such a shark phobia (-lol-result of a run in with a hammer head) - I'd be there looking for some Spanish gold![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
