For a "ready to dive" diesel electric, $80K sounds like a deal:

Lots of pictures.  I like submarine pictures.

Seems it has been de-rated from 1000ft operational depth to "max operating depth is 300 feet".
Although the wording they use doesn't make perfect sense.  For example, it claims the collapse depth is
1250ft, but I think they are confused with test depth (per ABS, 125% of operational depth).
The other ABS claims don't match with my understand of ABS rules either.

Perhaps it can still be rated to 1000ft.

Regardless, this is a beautiful craft, and I am enjoying the (~500?!) pictures.

Cheers,
  Ian.
