Alan, I have chosen this submarine type for several reasons. First, cost. I have a very limited budget that looks to be further squeezed as time moves on. Second is simplicity. Should I make a serious flaw in calculations, exiting the thing should be much easier. And third, In this state I have yet to find what most would consider deep water. I have a very demanding public and hydrodynamics can be much more streamlined in an ambient. Some day I will attempt a 1ATM but not at the present time. I seem to be providing some good benefit to those who have already taken the plunge with this sonar research. This is enough to remove me from life's troubles for a spell. Books don't do it for me, I need hands on stuff. It took the local rescue squad five days to recover the body of a drowned man...imagine the anguish his family must have been going thru at the time...a submarine or even a small ROV could have been of great help in this case. Anyway, something simple, small, and easy to transport and deploy is what I am attempting to achieve. A moments silence hidden from the rest of the world in command of a submarine, even if for a short time. content and at peace and at home below the water. A dreamer come home.

How come your going semi wet, is it so you can reach down & pick stuff up off the ocean floor? Might be cold.
Have you sorted out how your life support system is going to work. I'm not sure how it's done safely or wether there is a safe & easy system with ambients.
