Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Reserve buoyancy



The reference you see to Lake Diver on the page is in error. Lake Diver is a conventional
K350. Mine is highly modified. The pressure hull is to K350 design but that is the extent
of it.

Just found them, thank you.

Are Recon 1 and Lake Diver the same sub, or different designs?

Benjamin on our projects page I have a few photos of my sub. I am very fortunate to have
this unique body of water at my back door.

Dean -

Do you have a link to your submarine design online? It would be great to visualize what you have.

Lake Superior and Lake Michigan are my old stomping grounds --  got my scuba cert in northern Michigan, boating and sailing on Grand Traverse and L. Michigan, and explored the Sault St. Marie area many times. A sub that can keep you warm exploring Superior wrecks would be invaluable.

Alan this is in the line of my thoughts. From the beginning, for my purposes of
exploring Lake Superior, I need to cover large areas. Speed and endurance are
required. This is the reason for me carrying 18- 85amp batteries in external battery pods.
If I look at the volume of water in a full flood state the drop weights to compensate
would be much heavier than I would like.
 
A 6000 lb lift is only the extreme as this can be my overall weight. Safety is for sure
not to be compromised, my skinny little butt on the line. I am just thinking this could
be a solution. I don't feel that the hatch breaking the surface to allow egress is needed
for an emergency situation when there is a surface support craft. With a full 6000 lb +
lift capability.
