Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Deep Voyager

I fully agree.

I think peolple develloping subs like these aim at the rich of this world. People who got bored of there yachts with helicopters and ferrari's. People who want to show something different while laying in the harbor of Saint Tropes or Monaco. In murky water you can't even see the bottom.

It is beginning to seem like the people drawing these pictures have never actual been down is a sub before. They all want to travel at the speed of 8 to 10 knots. Every time I approach 3 knots I slow down because I'm scared I might miss something. When in actuality 1/2 knot seems to be the perfect cruising speed. And some times it's great to just hang on the side of a wall off the Islands at 6 or 700 feet. The view out a port can never be studied enough. One could look for hours at just one spot. The purple one has a really big profit margin at 1.5 MILL and was probably drawn in 3D Studio or Rhino..maybe Light wave??..But it's a cool image....If you would like one I'll build it for you at less then half the price. The yellow one could be built for around 350,000 USD........ DJB

Snip:.... Benjamin,

I have never seen this sub before. But it looks like the Subeo sub
(http://www.subeo.com/) for "only" 700000 euro.
