Hi Ian, 

Corrosion or ageing of the domes could be a reason for the de-rating.

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.
