Ian,

I say *Why Not!*
I checked this site out and I think you've got me hooked
on this.  I have a project that I think I can integrate into this one.
Have you pursued this at all? And if so, what's your progress?
Do you have one  or know anything about this "IGC approved
GNSS-Flight data recorder"?
Have you spoken/emailed with this "Hannes Krueger"?
( any relation to Freddy Krueger?....sorry, bad joke )
He seems to be a bit frustrated with lack of feedback!

I see a lot of possibilities here.
Finances (the lack of) and workspace (also the lack of)
prohibit me from building a submersible like the K350,
but I could see building an ROV or AUV that would utilitize
these features and, later on, to a manned submersible.
