Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] They're Just "Guidelines" !



Doug,
           I guess one issue is the taking of passengers with you.  If you are taking passengers for a fee then insurance liabilities come into play.  And I suppose that even if you had  employees you would have the same type of problem.  If you had a partner who was not really an employee then I wouldn't think that would a problem.  What I'm thinking of is a ocean farming situation.  If you were going down in a concrete sub to collect some fish from a netted area would a person you hired to help you make it so the sub would have to be certified by Lloyd or ABS?  or if you went down with just you and an assosiate would no certification be nessesary?   I think commercial fishing vessels have a whole bunch of rules as well, most are concerned with saftey.

I do have some guidance here.  Give me a day or two to catch up and I will address the issue for you and the group.

I have a hypothetical question concerning pressure vessels for human occupancy.  What if the material that is being used is not addressed in the "guidelines" in the PVHO handbook?  The material I'm thinking of is concrete, would certification by an engineer as to the strength of the material suffice ?  
 
Also say a pressure vessel for human occupancy was built and say that this pressure vessel was only going to be lowered in and out of the water with a crane.  If the pressure vessel was certified by a qualified engineer would that be different than Lloyds of London or the ABS certifying a ! submarine?  Doug Farrow, any thoughts on this?
