[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

It could be a nightmare Tim, & S.A. is a long way to go to check it out.
We do have a psub member in S.A.
It does have the diver lockout, but are you after a 1atm habitat or ambient?
What would the cost be in 02 & scrubbing per person per 24hrs?

If Hank's used sub valuation guideline applies then this one is worth $120,000 in dive ready condition.  However, it's a very larger "personal sub" so perhaps the guideline does not apply.  Overhauling the systems and ABS recertification would likely cost than that amount again.  Serious money required.  Pretty cool, though.
