[PSUBS-MAILIST] Speed controllers

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

I see it from the perspective of hands-free operation in large open 
expanses of water.  For example, slow cruising in the Florida Keys like 
Snoopy was doing in http://player.vimeo.com/video/76340636 at 1:00.  
Seems like there would be a benefit to not needing hands on controls 
while twisting your neck to enjoy the view.
