<div dir="ltr">Alan,<div>We have not thought about retrofit yet. the sub may stay for a year in exhibits. if we did we d just need an electric motor inside the cabin as the prop shaft will be inside.</div><div><br></div><div>
other thing we did last week end: visit the IFREMER submersibles facility in Toulon, the folks there will help us with camera and lighting equipment. </div><div><br></div><div>we saw the Nautile too. quite a nice visit. They don t publicize a lot but they ve done quite a lot of nice prototypes.</div>

The engineering and fab are progressing fast with Paul and Emile, so there will be frequent updates.</div>
