I bought the plans to the Aquasub, to mollify my wife and
her fears of my drowning.   (She then refused to help in
any way.)   Why attracted you to the design?

I keep looking at the Aquasub concept, with changes 
in mind.  Perhaps a two-seater.

I have a copy of a patent for a towed submarine.   It has one
person, prone, and a glass nose.    It's on a line and has
planes and rudders.  Always positively buouyant, so 
as long as the towline is shorter than the crust depth,
life is safe . . . if the pilot doesn't run into anything.
