So I was watching Treasure Quest on discovery. I have an interest in the underwater stuff. Been that way for a long time... got certified as a diver when I was 15. Anyway, they use a ROV (remote operated Vehicle) for some of their exploration of the deep. Do you see where this going? :proj: So I started thinking and researching. There are quite a few modders making these out in the world. Check this ONE out. I think I see a new project coming up. Eric |

Too small. Think bigger! Like, a full size mini sub. You can take pics through the porthole. :D So many people out there making such cool stuff. I remember seeing a website where the guy was making a scale WWII german sub. Welded steel, the thing was supposed to be nearly as capable as the real thing - minus the torpedos, of course. I've also seen sites of mini subs where you wear full scuba gear, but sit in a little bubble. Anyway, be sure to post pics if you ever do make something! |

I have seen that sub before. It is actually huge for DIY. I do have an interest in building something along those lines. If you see some of my pasts posts I have talked about doing an underwater scooter type of thing. Eric The link for the sub you were talking about is down. When it comes back up, I will post the link. |
