Some of the Current Designs boats, and I'm told that some of the P&H boats, have a pin hole drilled in the center of each bulkhead to prevent what you described. As I understand it, there is the danger of the blowing off because of the pressure/vacuum and the pin hole prevents this from building up. I discovered this after self-rescue practice and finding a few drops of water in one of the hatches.
