Nice idea about the mock-up. I wanted to do that but the piecemeal technique (home depot) was going to be a pain. Ill check with Shaped Unltd to see what their prices are. -----Original Message----- From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org [mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of greg cottrell Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 14:23 To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull sizing typo- I meant say "in the hull or in the conning tower" --- On Thu, 5/6/10, greg cottrell <jgcottrell2002@yahoo.com> wrote: From: greg cottrell <jgcottrell2002@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull sizing To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Date: Thursday, May 6, 2010, 2:06 PM If you ever sit in a 48" hull, 36" suddenly seems WAY too small. But It depends on whether you plan to spend the dive with your body in the hull in the conning tower (K-250 style). I would suggest that anyone in the planning stage get some different size cardboard tubes (you can get 30", 36", and 48" diameter tubes from places like "Shapes Unlimited") and try mocking your design up to see how it feels.

Peppers design in which the pressure hull is just wide enough to protect a standing or prone body.

Right now its all theoretical placement using the dimensions of the components. My hull diameter is planned at 30", at this point I don't think it will be enough... > > Of the members of the K-Sub mafia, what size hull is more common for construction?
