Kinda neat! What's with the third scale gun on a quarter scale sub? That's a strange decision. It's a really nice boat though--runs like a canoe.

Bah humbug! I say we get together and together, with our epic Subsimmy-ness we build a full scale! (Just kidding - I wish.)

This is pretty awesome.

Ahhh, I don't know. I myself would fear the mere idea of diving inside something I built myself.

That would turn a few heads at the yacht club.

Very sensible. Should you ever change your mind, here's a website for D.I.Y. sub builders (http://www.psubs.org/),

I'd test it in like a 20ft pool first. Something you can escape from pretty easily.

Hey, cool!

The site mentions this: "To promote and encourage discussion of safety, design, construction, and operation of Personal Submersibles."

Nowhere I found a "xxx days without accidents" sign, though.

Possibly because nobody has ever reported one.

Cheer up, mate! I'm just kidding.
