Hi Dave,

Most of the PSUBers I know about are connected via e-mail to our 
listserver alias. I Cc'ed this response to that alias and  
those who are interested can respond. Good luck.

Regards,
Ray

writing an article for our "lifestyles" section on people who build their own 
submarines -  ideally in their backyard or their garage. I was told by Jeff Lake 
of the Simon Lake project that the PSUBS group was the best place to start. 
After looking around your site, it seems he was right. These are exactly the 
kinds of stories that we are looking for.  Would you say that PSUBS has the most 
inclusive collection of submarine builders around? We aren't looking for 
submarine modelers, nor are we looking for ambient subs nor those propelled 
machines for SCUBA divers.

creative, innovative projects they can imagine in building personal submarines 
for no other reason than the sheer joy of the project and the reward of diving 
to the depths in contraptions of their own creation. We have a budget to do 
several photographs across several pages, and are not restricted to the U.S. (I 
saw the "Freyda" on your site, and understand that is in Denmark. Any idea where 
that sub or its builder is now? I also understand there are good projects in 
Germany and Hawaii.)

their projects. Again, the bigger, crazier, more innovative, the better.  These 
are people who have really accomplished something through sheer will power, 
attitude and an inability to let problems big or small stand in the way. All 
qualities we try to highlight in Forbes, and I think telling the story of these 
sub builders is a neat way to do it. I look forward to your response.
