[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub

Mon Sep 5 10:46:43 EDT 2016

360 liter oxygen per person all 24 hours. Equal 1 - 2 USD.
And Second hand scrubber material from you rebreather diver friends.
Nearly nothing.

It could be a nightmare Tim, & S.A. is a long way to go to check it out.
We do have a psub member in S.A.
It does have the diver lockout, but are you after a 1atm habitat or 
ambient?
What would the cost be in 02 & scrubbing per person per 24hrs?

    Alan,

    You nailed it with the underwater habitat thought.  At 21fsw hatch
    pressure this vessel would require just a coat of new paint.  I should
    bid $10,000.  With shipping it might just work out.  Hmmm.

    Tim,

    I am not sure whether this is the same submarine, i.e. were there more
    than one Taurus

     built. It does mention That it was deployed in South Africa though.
    Certainly the one on

    Ebay didn't look dive ready. 

    Maybe a ready made underwater habitat! I am sure you could talk the
    price down.

        Good find, Alan.

        Why does Silvercrest state that Taurus is "immediately available
        for worldwide underwater operations" if this boat is in the middle
        of an interrupted overhaul?  If Hank's used sub valuation guideline
        applies then this one is worth $120,000 in dive ready condition. 
        However, it's a very larger "personal sub" so perhaps the guideline
        does not apply.  Overhauling the systems and ABS recertification
        would likely cost than that amount again.  Serious money required. 
        Pretty cool, though.

        There are some specs on this Silvercrest site.

        Would hate to think what you may be in for, getting it up

        to scratch. 8 view ports to replace?

        Hello All,

        Yesterday I came across the Taurus Submarine on eBay , she is 22
        tons with diver lock out.   It is in South Africa, that is not bad
        if your in Europe, Carsten?
