This creates a 15,000 pound buoyant force resulting in a dry weight close to 20,000 pounds. For me personally, low volume is the key to keeping it towable by my truck. Under 10,000 pounds for sure, preferred somewhere around 6,000 pounds. A cylinder 8ft long with 4ft dia might be okay. At this point I am thinking about a habitat the size of a 3-man tent (but made of steel or fiberglass). Ambient pressure internally means that not a lot of structure is required (inexpensive) and low volume means easy deployment. The other issue is where to worki on it. I don't have sufficient shop space at this time, but hopefully soon. My dream is not dead yet, just constantly postponed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Tim<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Personal_Submersibles [<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org">mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 6, 2016 5:16 AM<br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Hi Tim,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473162806763_18689"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">How big are you thinking for a habitat.

Taurus was designed to carry heavy valve replacements and the like to and from seabed work stations, using a dry transfer system. She worked (occasionally) in the North Sea (<350 meters depth) and was built to compete with the PC-16s from Perry, which were actually never used in the North Sea, but were kept busy in the Med, instead. In any case, Taurus's dry transfer hatch is enormous to accommodate some specific kind of valve and or valve manifold--the dry transfer chamber could be equalized or pressurized as occasion demanded. And she has a BUNCH of compensated batteries, very much like a Pisces (only arranged low and along the sides, rather than in the middle). She is, as you might imagine, a bit of a bus. And roomy?
