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!
