Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Speculation...



Hi Rick!
 
What do you mean by:"But there are high performance submersibles that don't cling to that way of thinking."? Do you have an exemple? You picked my curiousity!
 
It's because i'm building a dry-ambient and I wanted the same thing as you. Light to be able to carry with my civic... And the only design I had tough of is a variable displacement sub. When you go down to dive, you lie down and a part of the hull is movable to reduce to a minimum the volume of the sub. If something happen at the bottom, you can "inflate" the hull and reach the surface.
 
What I decided to do was eto have that minimum but with no inflate possible. The displacement is now at about 1200 lbs... For a one person. It could have been a bit smaller (1000 lbs) but my wife is not letting me in something smaller then it is now...
 
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon!
