Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] selling rides
Dan
Here's the procedure that we did when testing Lake
diver
1. Larger boat with line winch
2. Set Sub to neutral buoyancy
3. 1400 ft of 5/8 line
4. Depth sounder or sonar
We dog the hatch for the outside with device I came up
with
Open main ballast valves and plug from outside using
pipe plug into exhaust of side of valve.
Tie 2 700ft lines to sub using a good knots
Place sub into water
Place 50lb weight belt onto sub
pull pipe plugs sub will slowly sink to 600 ft
Wait and hour (nerves will be tested)
Then pull sub back to surface note you are only
pulling 50lbs
replace pipe plugs and blow air for underneath into
mains
Not we did this in calm weather and also we watched
sub on sonar during test
As far as 600 ft goes in Seneca lake we have access to
600ft very close to shore
Hope this answer your questions
john
let me know if youd like to do this be more than happy
