A popular episode among fans, though not a favourite of mine.
A dramatic tale of a SHADO Skydiver submarine engaging an underwater alien craft, not the traditional UFO, but a smaller shuttle craft. Skydiver investigates an area of ocean where the aliens are suspected to be, comes under attack and is hit. Straker , who suffers from claustrophobia is on board, and the sub sinks to the bottom.
With the air running out, there is only one way to escape, through the only escape hatch still working. Damaged pumps mean only one person can use it every 90 minutes. Straker and Nina Barry, a usual moonbase officer, this week reassigned to Skydiver , are trapped as the hatch's pump finally conks out and with the air almost gone, death is imminent.
Colonel Freeman comes up with a
drastic plan to get them out.
