Personally I wouldn't go near that sub with a barge pole, much as I'm reluctant to go near anything made in China.

True, true. Obviously I'd want to be able to get out of it instantly, wouldn't take it deeper than I can safely swim to the surface from, and get it registered and certified, whatever needs to happen. Maybe it would be smarter to start with a wet sub, which would work great with the SCUBA gear I already have.

Aye, something that is unenclosed so if anything goes wrong, you can just swim out of. Preferably also a two person sub so if something goes wrong, there's someone else there to help you out.

HECK!!! I'm proud of the little guy!

He decided he wanted a submarine... and completed what he set out to do.


Hell of a thing... and I'm betting a dollar it will get him the attention and finances needed to build a better... more stronger sub in days to come.

I gotta say that when I saw the first article on this guy a year ago... I didn't think he had a chance in hell.

Decide what you want out of life... and make it happen!

Thanks for posting it Paddy!
