—”but it is a great memory, as we had been underwater for two and a half months without ever seeing, touching or smelling anything outside the sub. It was a rewarding experience.”

The feel/smell of fresh air after all that time is something I never would have thought about.

Very interesting, thank you.

The fresh air, because the crew has been breathing charcoal filtered air for such a long time, stinks worse than a paper mill and kind of makes you nauseous for about 30 seconds. You still appreciate it and you’re over that within a minute.
