I have personnaly dived in a 40 sits tourism sub-marine in monaco ,
the sub hull was totaly made in a transparent resin (very thick), so i see no
reason why a sub could not be made in a plastic material.
---it is probably cast acrylic. As far as I know
exists no clear resin.
On the other hand i could note that this kind of building requires bigger
means than the traditional stell hulls, it cant' be done in a small garage,
requires big moults , amtmosphere control (humidity and temperature).
Steel or GRP; I think the same workshop space is
required. but you dont wake up the neighburs with the angle
grinder.
Personnaly i am really interrested in the result cause i would like to
built an un motorized sub five meter long designed to welcome divers for 4
days with the possibility to reduce the pressure up to surface pressure
at the end of stay.
--Do you have a drawing?(post to moki) what
hull diameter. It schould have some comfort for a long deco stay.
or maybe am I a stupid newbie dreamer that has nothing to do
here ??????
--No
regards, Emile
