The website says the air supply is anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the model. They also have space for scuba tanks.

That's what your snorkel is for.

I'll take your word on that, since there are some things I'd rather not know firsthand.

Well have you ever seen a 40m long snorkel attached to someone's mouth? Or for that matter on a sub? OT what is the longest snorkel on an operating sub these days?

I wouldn't want to go 40m in that thing...I remember the diving pool in the local baths when I was a kid...you dove from something like 20m (at the highest platform level) into an area 15m deep and your ears would 'pop' at about 10m

Good job of covering your tracks!

Reminds me of the classic double-entendre by The Who
