I can confirm what Alan says in that seeing Euronaut in the flesh is much
more impressive and the detail of the design and the features that Carsten
has included are very impressive.
I was quite amazed at the detail and the safety and servicing considerations
that have been included.  I am very grateful for the free tour as I think he
could make good money charging for tours of the sub.
Unfortunately I did not meet with Emile due to lack of time and having my
wife with me.  Anyway I plan to go back. Have a great P-subs convention all.
Regards,  Hugh

I don't want to make anyone jealous, but over the last couple of days I've
visited Carsten & the Euronaut & been for a dive with Emile in the Nordic
sub.
Carsten is situated in Rostock, in the North East corner of Germany, on the
Baltic sea.
Very nice tourist destination that has tour boats visiting.
Carsten took me to see Sgt Peppers & the Euronaut. There is nothing like
being there. 
The photos & videos don't do the boats justice. When you get inside the
Euronaut you  can appreciate why it took 12 years to build. Carsten spent
about 2 to 3 hrs answering Questions & explaining it's features. One stand
out design feature was the many beer Bottle holders with Irish beer in them.
I think these were the first items he designed in his CAD program & the rest
of the boat evolved around these.
Coincidentally Hugh, from my city Auckland, had visited the day before.
Two days later I met up with Emile, who is only about 20 minutes by train
from Amsterdam.
He has the Nordic sub moored permanently outside a dive facility on a very
picturesque little Lake. I am going in to a bit of detail here in case
anyone wants to take their wife for a holiday In the Netherlands. Emile
operates the submarine commercially & the dive was certainly the highlight
of my trip so far.  He had a lot of control over the boat & was hovering
inches above Wrecks. The Nordic sub dives slightly lite so it can move off
the bottom without engaging the thrusters & so doesn't disturb the sediment.
It was a pleasure meeting up with Carsten & Emile who have been helpful to
me on the net over the last 4 to 5 years. Many thanks guys.
Regards Alan
