Daniel, I will watch with great interest your progress. This sounds like
the
sort of thing I'm looking for.

Any resources I can throw your way just let me know. 

I am an electronic/computing engineer among other things if this is any
use to
you.

 Thanks dave,

 Like I said it will probably be a few years before I start building it.
It depends on how well my shop takes off or if I decide I need a house
more than a submarine. But I plan on educating myself as much as
possible until then.
 At some point I will need a software program that I can load in the
hull shape and plastic properties (tensile strength, flexability, ect..}
which is available from the manufacture, to tell me exactly how much
pressure it will safely take.
 This may be beyond my computing capablities in which case I'll have to
do some destructive testing on a piece of plastic the same shape and
size of the largest un-reinforced section of the hull.


Daniel.
