[PSUBS-MAILIST] New web site

["simon blackburn" <siblack10000@googlemail.com>]

Hello chaps

 

I've been following the site for a good number of years, like many people just listening and learning.  The recent discussions have me thinking with regards to whether people such as myself have a place in these forums or whether they should be left to those fortunate individuals with the resources (time and money) to pursue the dream in a big way.  I recently started a web site to focus my mind on actually achieving something and wanted to get it to a reasonable point before publishing the address on the forum.  With the recent discussions and statements that only those with the appropriate resources should attempt to build submersibles, I ask is it not more appropriate to achieve what you can with the resources available while understanding the risks you take? 

 

I know, maybe because of what I've learnt here I don't have resources to build a 1 atmosphere, so I start with a wet sub in shallow water which as a qualified diver I can bail out of. Anyway will my wetsub when complete be a threat to the Psubs community? I live in the UK and I guess bad press here is more likely to get to North America than from China.  I can assure you I plan on living long enough to see my grandkids and my kids are only 7 and 10 so I certainly don't have a death wish.

 

Although my site and project are a long way from complete I'll let you view my website and pass the comments you feel are appropriate. The address is;

Let me know what you think
