From what I read, the Hunley used a candle both as a light source and an oxygen indicator. By my understanding, though, CO2 concentrations in an enclosed space would reach toxic levels long before there was insufficient oxygen to support a candle flame.
My guess as to why the Hunley sank has long been CO2 poisoning.

"the forward hatch may have been opened intentionally"... A diet of greens 'n beans'll make opening the hatch a necessity.
