Thanks David and Alen. I've become very interested in the
Humboldt squid we have here in the Monterey Bay, along with the large
variety of other sea critters. One of my dream dives will be to get the sub into
the Sea of Cortez off Baja, and do some lengthy video of the squid. I've always
been fascinated by the large squid and octopi with all those arms, the
large eyes, parrot beak, and obvious intelligence. A sub can give me the
opportunity to stay down for several hours at a time and study the
different aspects of their lives with much less wear and tear on me. I love to
watch the creatures up close during my scuba forays, but the time restraints
were always such a limiting factor. Hopefully the sub will be maneuverable
enough to provide a platform for watching and filming some of the fantastic life
that up until now has only been glimpsed for very short periods. Frank D.
