I like the idea of a PSUB designed sub. I know that the focus is on 1 atm
subs, but I'm wondering if there could be another team for those interested
in designing an ambient sub....???

Stan, do you want to head it up?
I have access to some (at least 50) 18' X 3' streamlined fiberglass
hulls used to carry minesweeping cables out away from ships. As the ship
moved forward, these would plane away from the ship with a line attached and
hook mines that might be tethered to the ocean floor. These hulls are full
of blocks of floatation foam which can be removed after you cut a hole in the
hull. They'd make a great ambiant dry or wet sub. (Personally I'm more
interested in a 1ATM rig.)
