Just to settle my curiosity, how many of you actually have your sub
designed and or built ?
When i first started pondering the idea of my sub
the key issues i hit on were trailer ability, range/ fuel consumption/ speed.
Depth was a secondary consideration as I first though of an ambient sub and a
max depth of 60 - 100 ft. Now i want to go to 200 ft in a pressure sub using the
same design and i don't feel this will be an issue from the help i have received
from fellow psubbers. From what i have seen skinny water is the big issue with
everyone, and it looks like it would be easier to relocate dive site to avoid it
(but not aware of areas of interest) and equip the sub with a small engine with
charging system and air compressor. I think this is feasible if you can spare
the 250-300 350 lbs extra weight and the time it would take to cruise at per say
6 knots to get to where you wanted to go. In doing this one would end up with a
more self sufficient sub and not need the support of a surface vessel of
any type (fuel/range considered) Just don't forget to pack t.p.
