An Idea...

[Dewit2it]

This may sound off-the-wall but here it goes.

While watching 20,000 Leagues, the idea of building a copy of the Nautilus for use as a dive boat came into my head.  Go cruising underwater to your favorite wrecks, deploy from the sub, recover back to the sub, and do your deco dry in the hyperbaric chamber while having your favorite snacks.  Non-diving family can watch the divers out the side windows in the salon.

Sound like fun?

It is only money.

The minisub is cute, but from the Disney Blueprint, were talking a 170' boat with about 25' of draft.  Couldn't even launch her from Sturgeon Bay unless the Corps wanted to do some dredging in the canal. :-\

Tell the Corps to start digging!
