Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub as panoramic film platform



Hi, Ian,
 
I'm not sure what Graham is doing with Deep Flight Challenger right now.  The last I knew it was sitting waiting for someone with enough money to put it to work.  The discussions of the last few days on acrylic canopies/viewports make me wonder how Challenger or Cameron's proposed sub can sustain 36,000 foot depths with that type of canopy.  Fortunately my challenges are much more modest.

Hi,

I read about that too, but it didn't mention Australian engineers
in the one I read.  I had assumed that he'd some how purchased
Steve Fossett's unused sub or commissioned another one like it.
The graphic with the article is definitely a deep fly sub.
Maybe they've mistaken Graham Hawkes' accent for Australian.

Cheers,
  Ian.

Gee, I had no idea it was this easy to build an ultra deep water sub:
