Here's a new idea to get to the dive site!

I always thought it was funny that the Soviets designed the Mig-29 with auxiliary intakes on the top of the wing so it could take off from grass runways...  I was always a big fan of the Su-27 though.  Anyway, supposedly the engine connectors on cars are all waterproof nowadays and so it'd be okay, but I'm sure all the body electronics wouldn't last long.  I was talking some some of the engine management folks at Mercury Marine and they submerged a controller in a fish tank and ran it for several months without any trouble.  Automotive stuff uses mostly the same connectors, but I have a lot less confidence that it'd last as long.
