obviously has learned a lot of lessons with the unit he has built. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas If

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of ShellyDalg@aol.com Damn! I love you guys. There's so much good info here. Thanks to
you all , Vance, Jay, Carsten, and others. Although I'm focused on finishing what I've got, the whole
"mini-sub/ROV" idea has a lot of merit. Other wise why would everyone
in the professional industry be going in that direction. On a more practical note....how tough would it be to work up a test
model from left over sub stuff ( I've got a bunch of stuff ) and bang something
rough together to see what works and what doesn't. Start with something simple
like a small ROV with limited capabilities, maybe a universal type
connector, a cheap camera so we can see what's going on down
there, minimum depth but enough to see how it all comes together. Keep
thinking of what you would like to see as a minimum, bring these ideas to the
convention, and maybe we can have a beer and come up with a simple design that
can be knocked up cheaply to explore the concept. I'd be happy to partner
up and see what can be done. Got any good stuff laying around? Bring your ideas. See you there. Frank D.
