<div class="y_msg_container"><br>I don't want to make anyone jealous, but over the last couple of days<br>I've visited Carsten & the Euronaut & been for a dive with Emile in the Nordic sub.<br>Carsten is situated in Rostock, in the North East corner of Germany, on the Baltic sea.<br>Very nice tourist destination that has tour boats visiting.<br>Carsten took me to see Sgt Peppers & the Euronaut. There is nothing like being there. <br>The photos & videos don't do the boats justice. When you get inside the Euronaut you<br>can appreciate why it took 12 years to build. Carsten spent about 2 to 3 hrs answering<br>Questions & explaining it's features. One stand out design feature was the many beer<br>Bottle holders with Irish beer in them. I think these were the first items he designed in<br>his CAD program & the rest of the boat evolved around these.<br>Coincidentally Hugh, from my city Auckland, had visited the day before.<br>Two days
later I met up with Emile, who is only about 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam.<br>He has the Nordic sub moored permanently outside a dive facility on a very picturesque little<br>Lake. I am going in to a bit of detail here in case anyone wants to take their wife for a holiday<br>In the Netherlands. Emile operates the submarine commercially & the dive was certainly the<br>highlight of my trip so far. He had a lot of control over the boat & was hovering inches above<br>Wrecks. The Nordic sub dives slightly lite so it can move off the bottom without engaging<br>the thrusters & so doesn't disturb the sediment.<br>It was a pleasure meeting up with Carsten & Emile who have been helpful to me on the net<br>over the last 4 to 5 years. Many thanks guys.<br>Regards Alan<br><br><br>Sent from my iPad<br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
