2nd the craft is way too small and unless I am missing somthing then this is actually less effective than just swimming out to what you want to look at.

Next time you build a sub. Pressurize it and keep the crew dry. Install lighting and other things connected to a small battery recharged by the person who provides the propulsion. Make it to where it can atleast outperform the Hunley.

Edit: And next time please don't throw a copyrighted song in just for extra points. Use public domain or creative commons music.

It's for the international submarine races. It is not an exploration sub it's sole purpose is to go fast. The first races were held in open water in Ft' Lauderdale. since the they have been moved to the David E Taylor Model Basin in MD. The original race required contestant to run an obstacle course the sub in the video holds the record for this type of race and was in the guinness book of records.

As for performance the Henley requires 8 men and can reach 4 knots surfaced. we reach 6 with only one mad powering.
