Agree totally Frank.
I think we'll see an exponential growth in personal submersibles in the
next 10 years.
With all the information & resources available through the internet,
the ability to connect with other
like minded people, & ready made products available it must make
building a sub 100 x easier.

Nice looking dome and not a bad price for a certified product. ( roughly
$6,000 ? )
It would definitely save a lot of time for a guy starting a new sub
project. It's pretty cool that we are starting to see quite a few
"off-the-shelf" parts for submarines. I'm still thinking about the Minnkota
"upgrade kit" where a guy could make a new end piece with a magnetic coupler
that would replace the existing end cap on the 101's so no
pressure compensation would be needed. Didn't Carsten and Peter say they
had a few parts that could be ordered ? His work is definitely first rate
quality.
The whole idea of personal submarines is in a very exciting stage right
now and I expect to see many more products become available in the next few
years. Let's face it, the average guy will never build a space ship, but a
submarine to access the huge part of our world that's never been seen is
becoming a reality. It's a good time to be alive !
