Chris Groves – Doing SETT was a great ride

It was great fun.

There was an element of anxiousness attached to it but once you’d come out of the Tower and you were on your way up to the surface and you could breathe with your head in air, it was good fun, it was a great ride.

It was a great theme park ride really in many ways, but the reality of it was there was risk in there and the experience was not really the experience that you were going to get.

What did it do for you? It gave you confidence in the equipment and it gave you confidence that you … having experienced what you were going to do that you could get to the surface.

Of course, there is a reality around what depth you can escape from, so if you’re not on the Continental Shelf, you’re not going to escape from your submarine.

You physically can’t do it and so in actual fact the vast majority of time that we’re operating submarines, we’re probably in depths where you wouldn’t be able to escape by that anyway
