Cody, We have fun just ribbing each other...nothing is ment in any serious way. We are just having fun. As with space exploration, manned vehicles are lots more expensive to build and operate. At some pont in the future, I plan on using a small tethered ROV to first explore intended dive sites. This should optimize the use of my manned sub and should make for more productive and interesting dives.

Depending upon the depth you are going for, the larger wire may work better. Also, I believe Alec Smyth did some PLC work for one of his subs and gave an overview at the 2003 convention. Take a look at http://www.psubs.org/convention/2003/PLC_presentation.ppt
