Earlier this past Spring while researching underwater camera systems and periscope optics, I purchased a simple underwater camera with self contained lighting. This system could be lowered down to up to 60' and with the accompanying monitor brighten and clearly reveal anything within a few feet of this camera even if the water is very cloudy. Having found this particular system not to meet my present requirements and realizing the local rescue squad could really make use of this simple and portable tool to locate drowning victims, I donated it to them. Tomorrow my two boys and I get a picture taken for our local paper to hopefully solicit further funding for this good local cause. This camera system was donated in the name of PSUBS.org and was a good way I could see to promote our sport even though no actual submarine was ever involved. We have also donated hand held bullhorns to the local school in this way obtained from earlier transducer testing. The electronics when confined tended to overheat and thus were not of use to us. Calling kids to to the bus as school let out seemed a much better purpose for these. There may be things you may find unsuitable in the quest for things submarine that also could be used to promote good will in behalf of our sport in your local area. So before you let gather dust on a shelf or simply gets thrown away, give this some thought. David Bartsch The New Busy is not the old busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox. Get started. |
