Definitely not correct. What would happen in real life is, if you were standing on the bridge, you would see bubbling coming up as the compressed air was forced out of the open Kingston valves and slots at the bottoms of the various ballast tanks. That’s actually how they knew they were empty is they saw the bubbles and ordered the (albeit with diesel exhaust) blowing stopped. And so if you bled all of your compressed air out you would be left with really the same amount of air in the ballast tanks that you started with.
I’m wondering if the code somehow makes it so if you keep blowing even with empty ballast tanks you accumulate a fictitious “buoyancy reserve” that prevents you from diving. I have no idea though. Good catch though!
