RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Aquasub (was: Sub Parts)
Hi Mike,
The biggest attraction to the Aquasub is the design
(read "Cheap") and the safety factor. I went to the
lower Florida Keys three years ago..now I'm hooked. I
loved the reef...But I don't really like getting wet...
The Aquasub seems to be just what I need to view the reef...short of
learning to scubadive...Which I would
love to do...I have a fear of the water though....I
nearly drowned in a "DRY" riverbed in Califorina when
I was three...My mom thought it looked like a good place to have a
picnic.HaHa.
I have been to the Keys three years in a row now...
I have thought about making a 2 seater using the Aquasub
design..I want to share the reef with my 7yr old daughter. I am going to be
getting her swimming leasons
soon...Would love to shar info with you.
I would also like to find others who have or are planning
to build the Aquasub. I don't have the plans for Aquasub
yet.....Don't have the $45.00...Work gets real slow in
the winter.....
