Hank,
Tim talks about his plans for an underwater habitat. Something like that would
be great for the price & it would be mobile! Maybe you could go halves!

Sea sickness rolling etc. Submersibles need to be transportable or else submarines.  Ask Carsten.  At least his is Autonomous.  High metacentre can be hell for rolling even in a slight sea.

They are learning that it is very difficult to sell an uncertified sub.  It also seems like the sub has a bad reputation from when it belonged to Sea Shepard.  I think the sub is fantastic.
