I don't think he is using gel batteries presently but he could. With
gel batteries one could invert the sub. With the solid state electronics I
would think you could cover it with a thick mineral oil as long as the oil did
not break down any of the plastic components.

I thought Deep Flight was "acrobatic" and could invert. If the
batteries are oil immersed, they can't invert, can they?

Hi Brian,
Some times distilled, ultra pure, water is used as an insulator.
Oil works, Deep Flight Aviator uses flooded lead acid batteries with oil
floating on top. But it can be messy.
