Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Safety of Tourist Submersibles

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

These guidelines are from an NVIC (Navigation and Vessel Inspection 
Circular) which are authored and distributed by the CG for public use 
and should be public domain.  The original NVIC document is entitled 
Guidance for Certification of Passenger Carrying Submersibles and the 
buoyancy section is an enclosure to the certification document.  See 
http://ntl.bts.gov/data/letter_nz/no5-93.pdf for the official Coast 
Guard version which was written in 1993.

No need to scan images or create a PDF, it's already available online.
