I think I am mistaken. I am shocked they spent the cash on what appears to be another carbon fiber wound cylinder. Also how do you access the wiring and internal structure for inspection? There's a pic that shows an access door in the rear behind the main monitor with a guy in there working on something. The pic was in one of the videos, but this thread is moving too fast and I'm not sure which video showed it. It would seem that would be inadequate to access everything.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know if I've missed it, but did this mini sub have not have a way to transmit an emergency ping for an extentended period of time? How is this thing "missing"? They didn't install a redundant pinging device of some type for emergencies on this thing? they used an ARFCOM favorite . . . . a BAOFENG  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I read somewhere it's been down 4 times. If that plexiglas "window" flexed 3/4 of an inch 4 times... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: No way. It dove to the titanic less than 5 times. I may have made a total of 40 fives including shallower one, but no way in hell it made that many dives that far down With tales from the first 4 dives including things like electrical failures, temporary loss of comms, emergency ballast releases and "it was a suicide mission".  |

I'm not going to read 60 pages so hopefully one of you can answer this question. Why would anyone design a sub with all that cabling shit exposed to the elements. Even a dumb dumb like myself would run that inside the hull or at least have some type of conduit to protect the cabling.
But what the hell do I know.
