Finally, we are getting to the reason I chose this forum to introduce my idea.
For discussion’s sake we have a ship or barge on the surface that recharges the tanks, removing a discharged one replacing it with a charged one.
I am not sure if you are referring to the tanks of compressed air or the buckets.
A tank full of compressed air will sink if the weight of the tank is greater than the weight of the seawater that is being displaced by the tank.
I just saw the warning below---
Now I understand why no one or only a few cares to participate in the discussion.

Back to the OP
My calculations of the speed of the rising buckets did not consider the drag caused by the generators attached to the circulating cable.
The reason I ask this is because this will determine how often a recharged air tank would have to be recharged.
Any suggestions?
I consulted with a pod of humpback wales to see if they would consider contributing their farts to jumpstart the process but the leader among them declined saying it would interfere with their sex routine.

I’m still waiting for someone to check the math but that may be a stretch for an electrician to compute.
I hope no one gets shocked---No offence intended or implied.
telectrix, I’m not sure how you knew this, but I did try to get The Walt Disney Company to grant me a license to use the name “Airbag Fairy”. If they agreed to grant me the license, I intended to include you in the agreement.

Bubble equation @
The lifting force of an enclosed container, (bubble); is equal to the volume of water being displaced. To push one cubic foot of enclosed air under water takes a force of 64 pounds at one ATM.
This is the equation that determines the volume of air at different depths...
bubble in seawater rises around 220 mds and almost same as that in artificial seawater and distilled water

Speed of rising bubble
220 mds
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters
220mm = 8.66142 inches
12/8.66= 1.3854 feet per second
33/1.385= 45.7182 seconds

When I read your post a light bulb popped on, thanks.
The temperature needs to be considered.
Sea water averages about 67 degrees Fahrenheit
I am not sure how much change taker place.
Do you think this will slow it down or speed it up?
A bucket rises three (3) feet per second.
Buckets are thirty-three (33) feet apart.
Time between refills is eleven (11) seconds.
@ 1atm the volume of the bubble is 40,000 cubic feet.
Compressed down to 15 atm or 2,666.666 cubic feet.
Above is the energy required to refill a tank [Bucket]...
