Also on the point of making people on deep dives positively buoyent,
remotely
from the surface support,
we here at POL retreive devices from 5000+m, by making them positively
buoyant by a acoustic failsafe, ie if it does not want to come up when
we ask it to, we send an acoustic signal to a small lifting bag with a
compressed gas cartridge, the cartridge open and the bag fills, and
heypresto up it comes, we have had little problems with these, nor have they
ever misfired
JUST a THOUGHT
