Comms and a pinger sound about right (sorry for the
pun!!). Redundant sure works. Lines are dead simple but can be a
hazard. I would have to assume you're staying within scuba limits because
of your backup divers?
It's amazing that what seems so logical on
paper is, in reality, a complete bust in the field.
Keep us informed about the OTS items.

on the line could work but I think that I am just going to jettison the safety
line and buoy. I have a pinger attached to the boat so finding the boat
should not be an issue. What I really need on the boat is the
underwater comms. Dan Lance put me on to some really good equipment from OTS
that I am looking at.

Hi,
Cliff - nice to see the progress on your sub. That is one beautiful
boat!!
I have a
thought about your lines. Since you're in really poor vis would it be
prudent to keep your locating line, but, keep it buoyed by intermittent floats
along the rope? This is a buoy system we use up here that keeps lines
off the bottom. Whether it would be practical as far as your intakes are
concerned is another matter, but, it may just save your bacon.
