Hi Walker, and welcome to the discussion group.
I was watching one of the Discovery channels earlier today about airplanes.
Hmm, maybe it was the Discovery Wings Channel.  Anyway, when airplanes were
in their infancy of development---prior to the first World War---they were
often referred to as a "gentleman's conveyance".  I think thats pretty cool.
PSUB=gentleman's underwater conveyance?  Certainly is a mouth full not
unlike calling an SUV a genteman's multiple terrain multi-purpose horseless
carriage.
Still, a "gentleman's underwater conveyance"?  Yeah, I think it has a
certain resonance.  You know, an unidentifiable quality that sparks the
imagination on multiple levels.

"Tell me Chap and please pardon my ignorance, but what is this...this
thing...you have secured to the pier?"

"In answer to your query,  what you see before you is my attempt at creating
a 'gentleman's underwater conveyance'."

"A 'gentleman's underwater conveyance' you say?  Oh yes...yes indeed!  But
please indulge me, what purpose does this...thing... have beyond the
curious?"

"This..."thing"...enables the mortal man the ability to dive deep into the
inky black fish infested waters and return to the surface unharmed fully
able to continue carrying out  his obligations to employer, family, and
friends.  Yes, there is a certain amount of risk involved, but how can you
perform an activity without risk and still claim to be heroic?"

"Oh yes...now I see...This is an unusual craft designed for, and built by,
unusual people.  I say that not as a critiicism, but in forlorn admiration.
Good luck my friend."
