here is the prices for the K250, which is a 1 man sub, good to 250 feet..
The main body shell, which is 4 feet long, 36"od, cost $340.00, the 5 ribs
for the inside of the main body, cost $310.00,(for all 5) and the conning
tower metal cost $150.00
The 2 end caps cost me $378.00 each..
That would pretty much be it for the main hull..there is a dome on the K250,
and a front view port, but these are extras even if you get a pre built
tank.. These prices are in canadian dollars..
