Fibonacci:
Thanks for the clarification SeaRat, I can see that the ORV could become encased with ice and lock up in extreme conditions!
What are your thoughts on the HP diaphragm being actuated by compressed air (to match ambient water pressure) in a RAM vs directly by the water in a Conshelf 14?
Any appreciable difference?

No, there is no difference, as has been demonstrated by decades of actual diving. Air and water both exert the same pressure, and so act the same.
