Hi Al.
How unfortunate. Hope you get the chance to dive
with him again. Has he sold his unpowered glider sub "Sea Bug"
yet?

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Karl Stanley's
Idabel
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!
