Goofs

During the tropical storm, an air tank falls on the open hatch of the scubasphere and damages it beyond repair, leaving Mike stranded on the bottom of the ocean until a replacement hatch can be delivered. The ship later returns and sends down a replacement hatch for Mike to install. The problem is that that hatch closes from the inside of the scubasphere, so how did Mike get the new hatch inside to install it?
