Hi all!
I just got back from a dive vacation down in
Roatan, Honduras at Anthony's Key Resort. While I was down there, one
thing on my list of things to do was pay a visit to Karl Stanley to see his sub
Idabel. For those who aren't familiar with Karl, visit his website at http://www.stanleysubmarines.com .
He is on his second homebuilt sub that he sells rides on to depths of up to 2200
ft. Unfortunately I had limited time to visit with Karl since I waited
till my last day and had a taxi waiting for me.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that Karl was a really
nice guy and was more than willing to talk about his sub. When he found
out I was from PSUBS, he suggested we go out to dinner that night and also
offered me a ride in his sub. Unfortunately, since I waited till the last
moment to visit him, I didn't have the time in my schedule to accommodate.
I got a chance to take some pictures of his sub that I will post to PSUBS
sometime in the future. I promised Karl that I would definitely make more
time to visit with him the next time I'm in Roatan which is a superb place for a
dive vacation since it is reasonably priced and has excellent
diving.
Karl was more than familar with psubs.org so he
must follow this forum somewhat. I just want to thank Karl for his
hospitality and will definately make more time for him on my next
trip!
