Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drydive

[Brent Shaw <drydivenz@yahoo.com>]

Thanks all for your congrats

I'm based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Drydive is a 3 seater ambient sub, power by a 10hp
diesel for surface motoring and two 71lb minkota
electric for underwater motoring. It has a 65lb
minkota upfront for underwater trimming.

These 71lb motors seemed to have plenty of grunt as
one of the pics show.

Air is provided by five 88cuft scuba tanks.

Hull is made in 8mm corten plate measuring 3.5 metres
long x 1.2 metres high.

Hard ballast is being made now so hopefully I will
back in the water next weekend.

I will have an update when I do so.

"safe holidays everyone"

Regards
Brent
