[PSUBS-MAILIST] Scott's new sub

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Yikes,  too pricey for me.

 

However, that price includes the labour, liability insurance, and corporate profits.  To commission a sphere from their source, add four Pronk thrusters,  and home building a one-off just like it would be a whole lot less expensive.  

 

Food for thought.  Those sphere subs impress me majorly.

Tim,

I got to climb in the Triton 3000 when it was in Auckland.

It had a $3million price tag.

Scott,

 

If you are okay with purchasing a 1000m sub rather than building it, then what are your thoughts on the Triton line?  Pricey?

Hank,

The records I have of Pisces say they are made of HY-100 and capable to 2000 meters. 

1000 feet isn't enough of a challenge for me. My goal is 3,300 feet or more, but may have no choice to shallow it up because of material, but we will see. The plan is to have enough redundancy and enough safety features like jettisonable manipulator arms and even a jettisonable personel sphere that it is as safe as it can be at that depth.

Thanks,

Scott Waters

Scott,
I thought Vance said they were 516-70, I must have read it wrong.  I don't know what your planning  with a 1,000m capable sub.  I can't imagine diving that deep with no means of rescue.  Are you planning on two subs maybe?  Don't get me wrong, I love the idea.  What about copying one in 516-70 and live with the depth capability.  I would imagine you could see 1,000 feet plus, a very respectable and affordable Psub.

I would
love to, except a Pisces is HY-100, which I am having a
terrible time getting that material. I'd love to go on a
deep dive with you though! I am going to Seneca lake New
York this April for some deep diving. Might be also going to
lake Michigan this year
too.Thanks,Scott Waters

Hi Scott,
Maybe you could save some money and time if you just copy a
pices sub. Check with the folks at Nuytco, maybe you can
crawl around the sub with caliper in hand.  Perhaps you
could even look at the drawings, I am sure they are with the
sub.  When your done measuring the sub, swing by and we
can go for a spin in a deep lake.
Hank
