I always wanted an RC submarine, but you are almost required to have a large swimming pool for it!

I just remember my battery powered automatic little diving subs as a kid. Took them to the lake, and when they were supposed to surface - WHAT HAPPENED??!!!

Never saw them again.

I only go in the bath at night, when airplanes can't find me.

To this day, they are patrolling the lake on the look out for that convoy of ducks and geese so they can gain some serious wildfowl tonnage!

I remeber the ones were you put some type of pill in the underside. I do not remember what the pill was. It made the sub go up and down.

I think it was Alka Seltzer, or Baking Soda/Baking Powder - they generated CO2 when dived, pushing them to the surface, then it vented and they dived again. A bit like when you vent some gas in the bath and feel yourself sinking a little lower.

You'd need a big ass bathtub!

Thats right. I think it was baking soda. As far as venting my tank while submerged in the tub, well, lets just say it is time to get out of the bathtub.

I really want to get a real RC sub, but they're so !$#$% expensive.

I bought the Walmart one, and it actually works pretty good.

You can get that only if I can get an R/C Destroyer will real working depth charges!

The Museum shop on HMS Belfast sell a wind up sub with diveplanes which alternate positions to dive and surface it. As a health and safety note I feel it should have a proppelor gaurd for bathtime use, it look a long time for me to untangle it.
