Snorkel Sub

I went for a long walk today on the beach. I got my submarine plans in the mail today — I might do that as a quick (well, not that quick) project in the new space to get un-rusty at building things. The Aquasub is a “snorkel sub”, meaning that it sits just a little under the water, with pontoons that stay on the surface… so it’s not really a submarine, but still quite fun. There’s actually a company in Austria that builds a bigger snorkel sub that looks like it has potential as a tour vessel. Not quite as cool as a DIY K-350 sub, but harder to get killed in. The subs I really like though are the “flying” ones by Graham Hawkes, who even has a design for an underwater plane that can go down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench

  1. Shannon, did you recently move or something? I thought you were living in that apartment in the city? Where is this space you are referring to?
