Scott,
That is what I get, remember to take the outside measurement of a hull to calculate buoyancy.

 Hank,I
 take it a 1" thick 60" diameter sphere weighs 4521
 lbs leaving 2509 lbs of positive boyancy. A
 1.25" thick 60" diameter sphere weighs 5650lbs
 leaving 1380 lbs of positive boyancy. Are my calcs
 correct? Anyone know how much pressure these can
 withstand?
 My thought is 3300 feet is 1470psi. With a higher
 than 1.25 safety factor I should aim for 2,000 psi or more.
 Right?
 Thanks,Scott Waters

 A 60in sphere .75in thick weighs 3391lbs it displaces 7030
 lbs leaves you with 3640 bouyancy

 hull.  This way you get more experience and have the
 ability to upgrade.  That is funny really, upgrade from
 2,700 feet to what? :-)
