Vance, all, You have a good point. A
Sub which costs 7.000 Dollar a day is to expensive for many archaeological or
biological research projects. Like spaceflight, most research subs are governmental. So the price for a 500
Metres research sub under 1500 Dollar / day operating cost. New materials or energy
sources could also be an idea. Nice for the media: fly
to the 10.900 Metres deep Marianatrench in a floating sub (not the bulky
gasoline airship like Steve Fosset planned such
but het tragically died in a plane crash. I read in an interview with
James Cameron that he has also plans in that direction. A team is working on a
sub in (anybody more info?) Anyway, All of you should
send good idea’s to X- price. Otherwise some students will send in robot
ideas……………….. Emile Van:

about items #1 and #2? Improvement of technology to further ocean exploration.
How about readily available, certifiable, reasonably priced and simple manned
submersible vehicles.....lots of them.....fleets of them. It's time to get man
back in the sea. Not robots. -----Original
