Dive deep.

Seriously, this shared sub is a startlingly cool idea. It seems so obvious now.

Has that company actually built any of those boats yet? Is there anybody out there with one already? Cuz I'm wondering: What would be the government's response to a private citizen's organization operating a submarine?

Since I've detected at least a little crossover interest among the group in space exploration, I'll mention this wild novel I've just read, _Kings of the High Frontier_, available in electronic form from Pulpless.com. It's about private space flight. Lots of inspirational encouragement for "homebuilt" types. I mention it because near the end some government type, trying to prevent "Subnational" access to space, mentions that it's "for the same reasons we oppose subnationals with submarines." Ahem.
