SCENARIO 1

Your team of "action" scientists has spent the last five days living in the ocean in an underwater habitat. The habitat is 110 feet under water and you have been breathing regular air at ambient pressure. Your team was conducting research on the physiological and psychological effects of spending long periods under water when you received a call that your team is needed at the surface immediately. It seems that a submarine accident off the coast of Africa which is over 3000 miles away needs the team's onsite expertise. A military jet is standing by ready to transport your team. The team leader has assigned you the task of developing a plan to get the team safely to the surface as soon as possible.
