World’s deepest pool in Dubai

[Degenerate]

Now I'm consumed with curiosity where the waste goes. Can an airplane vacuum toilet withstand multiple atmospheres?

Bucket

Looks amazing:

I so want to do this when we get back to Dubai. Maybe next year!

Religion and politics are only allowed in the Pub. This thread is about a deep pool. Please keep to that subject. Thanks!​

Probably more interesting for freedivers than for scuba divers

Now I'm consumed with curiosity where the waste goes.

Here is an image of a hyperbaric toilet:

There are basically two designs. This one uses a pressure vessel as the toilet bow and the other design has an external sanitary storage pressure vessel with a stainless marine head sitting on larger valves inside. The seat is interlocked to the dump valve to prevent the diver from accidently being sucked out. See: Taylor Diving & Salvage: Emergency Surgery in Saturation

Can an airplane vacuum toilet withstand multiple atmospheres?

Definitely not. We looked into using one as a starting point before developing the toilet in the image above.

I had no expectation that my question would be answered so thoroughly! Presumably a bucket is the lowest tech solution, but that would quickly become extremely unpleasant. Makes sense that you would have to use a pressure vessel as strong as the rest of the structure. Thanks!

Read the linked thread about the surgery, that’s really scary and interesting at the same time.

A bucket or camping toilet (frame, seat, and plastic bag) is pretty typical in double-lock chambers used in surface-supplied diving. You can send the "product" out in the outer lock since you are pressurizing with air off an LP compressor. Usually they aren't in there long enough on a Sur-D-O2 decompression to require sanitary facilities but a treatment table can be long enough that it is hard to hold it.

I am wondering. Shouldn’t it be considered tech diving like wreck or cave diving as opposed to rec? There is no direct access to the surface from everywhere or am I missing something?
