Crane, A-frame or boat lift retrieval will be employed for storage and necessary maintenance.</p>

subject to change as funding dictates. 4 person lockout submersible (pilot, supervisor, 2 divers). Large for a PSub, but sized for road / intermodal transport. Not ramp launchable. Operating depth of 600m, safety factor TBD. 48 hour mission, 72 hour reserve. Built to full ABS / GL compliance with documented tests (NDT, strain gauging, material and proof testing) to enable classification by engaging a surveyor in the future, but not classed at this time. When construction is completed, it will live in Vancouver - my second (first?) home.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Sean<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><div class="yqt0113992184" id="yqtfd74521"><br clear="none" />On November 6, 2015 3:06:12 PM MST, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none" />>Hi Sean,We have it all sorted out,
