Hatches:
After one of the swimmers said we were clear to
open the hatches, I unlocked mine. It operated very
freely and easily.

However, the swimmer was right outside, and I asked him

well .
We had the suit on and left them on.
Lovell

as quickly as we did helped us.
Borman
That was the smart thing to do.
