Why don't you just invent a teleportation device
and "beam me down" in a plastic garbage bag. Oh yea, don't forget the
synthetic gills that will be surgically implanted prior to the dive.
What ya smokin'?

Well you'd
actually be round, much smaller but still round. since you are round
the
water pressure is coming from all sides equally, so you get smaller but stay
round.
Also doesn't the boat have to weigh the same as the water
displaced in
order to sink? So unless it is filled with internal
ballast tanks it would
have to weigh the roughly the same as a metal
hulled boat?
Just a clarification please?
