USA specific post.We've had a few reports of people running into problems registering their submersible in particular states. I myself am planning on registering AQUATIC next week and am curious if I will run into similar issues.I have updated the website with references to federal law that define "recreational" and "submersible", and USCG NVIC 5-93 that defines "recreational submersible" as falling under the rules and regulations of 33 CFR Subchapter S for "boats".It is PSUBS opinion that these laws and regulations clearly establish recreational submersibles as "boats" and that they should be registered as such by the states. If you are having issues registering your vessel try copying the legal references we have provided and submitting them to your state.
