[PSUBS-MAILIST] Submersible Rules

[MerlinSub@t-online.de via Personal_Submersibles]

Most 1 atm rules would not fit for ambient.
 
Example: A ambient 1 hour underwater at 40 m releasing his drop wright will 
kill all occupants instandly.
 
Two years ago we get an request to certified such ambient bubble scooters 
for untrained non diver tourist.
We decide not to follow this invitaion. Somebody else will maybe do.

River,

Ambients would be covered under the same rules as 1-ATM currently.
46CFR, II, Part A, Chapter 21, 37(a)  “submersible vessel” means a vessel 
that is capable of operating below the surface of the water.

    Everyone keeps thinking in terms of 1atm subs, but I've never seen any
    classification rules regarding ambients. How would they fit into the
    proposed regulatory scheme? They let untrained tourists use those
    bubble helmet wet subs. That would certainly qualify as commercial. 
    Where does one draw the line between a scuba scooter and a wet sub?
    More importantly, does your average 19yo Coast Guard auxiliary-man know
    or care about the nuances separating a 1 ATM, dry ambient, partial dry
    ambient, and wet sub?
