What's the pressure at 650 feet? Anyone know?
I think max for free-diving is 250 feet depth.
There must be other subs nearby, but how to transfer crew is a good question.
Other thought is how close are they to rated crush depth.
Our space vehicles (russian and american) have similar airlocks for crew transfer, I wonder that something similar could be devised for subs. But at that depth, would they work?
How much time have they got?
Can they transfer fresh air???

Not to hijack the thread, but (okay, a little hijacking is coming along)...
Also say a prayer for the trapped coal miner in Harlan County KY.

Doesn't look good for him at all. Unfortunately the coal towns are all too used to this type of tragedy. I can only imagine what his family is going through.
