[PSUBS-MAILIST] Pilot Fish Project

[Antoine Delafargue]

Alan,
We have not thought about retrofit yet. the sub may stay for a year in
exhibits. if we did we d just need an electric motor inside the cabin as
the prop shaft will be inside.

other thing we did last week end: visit the IFREMER submersibles facility
in Toulon, the folks there will help us with camera and lighting equipment.

we saw the Nautile too. quite a nice visit. They don t publicize a lot but
they ve done quite a lot of nice prototypes.

regards
antoine
