Hammering the exit closed seems kinda dangerous 😬

[@buildthings79]

Its just to make the initial seal on the hatch gasket. Once the sub starts to dive the pressure increases and seals the hatch even more. You wouldnt be able to open the hatch until the inner pressure equals with the depth you are at. You can flip the dawgs on the hatch with your finger once at depth.

[@Teqnyq]

@@buildthings79 can fingers really undo that hatch in an emergency?

[@Teqnyq]

@Jonny B most of what you've said is true & remember those hatches use screwed mechanisms. My argument is, bare hands won't have enough leverage to open 6 or 8 tabs that were previously hammered shut using a mallet in an emergency (even after pressure equalisation). She's dead if she doesn't have a scuba tank to buy her time to hummer away down there.
