Jay,

I used http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/mwv/navrules/rotr_online.htm but there 
are others as well.  Can you take a look at 
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/mwv/navrules/rules/Rule22.htm in particular?  
It looks like if we can get classed as "inconspicuous, partly submerged 
vessels" (Rule 22(d)) that the lighting requirements will be much less 
obtrusive.  However, since small recreational subs are typically classed 
as a "recreational boat", I suspect we're going to be looking at Rule 22 
(c).

Jon
