Scott,
Gamma is rated for 1,000 feet. I can only deep test it to 1,000 feet for now, so I will only dive it to 500 until I get up to Adams Lake to do 1,500 feet. Adams lake is 5hr from my house. Gamma is a two man sub, but I am over weight with my new batteries by 104lbs so some work is needed before I can take a passenger.
There are video's on YouTube about diving in Slocan Lake, check them out and see how good the visibility is.

Very cool!
Following Trustworthy down would be awesome. I was wanting
to test to 450'. I think I can make August
work! What I need to do is figure out how to
make a deep worker a business expense. Anyone know any
commercial diving companies for sale out there?
HahaThanks,Scott Waters

Scott,
I should also be able to follow with Gamma to 500 if that is
what your shooting for. I will have the barge out
there permanently this summer. I am working out there
a lot now so I am making contacts. I brought Gamma
across the border with no trouble. Canada is much
easier on us than the US. If you like you can go cross
country to Montana then cross at Eureka. I was there
yesterday to pick up my AGM's and the Canada border guy
said 'hey your the submarine guy" lol I can
meet you there and we can head to Slocan from there. If you
have any trouble at the border, I will be there to
help. You really just need proof it is your sub.
You can pick Vance up on the way, :-) You can head to
Nuyco from there and see the all the wonderful DW's
Maybe you can sell a store and go home with a DW, :-)
Canada is a very safe place to travel with your trailer, we
are not as anal. Just cover the sub with a good tarp
and your set.
I would be available any time in August. I am booked
for work after that.
Hank

Hank,Is
there any special regulations if I were to tow my sub
across
the border? I am going to try to figure out how to make
this
work. I would feel alot more comfortable putting the sub
on
a winch off a barge to depth
test.Thanks,Scott Waters

Scott,
I live in Windermere BC, 5hr from Slocan lake.
Google
Slocan lake BC and you can see the awsome lake and it is
crystal clear.

Scott,
You would be well advised to drive how ever far it
takes
to
have ideal conditions. I have lots of experience
doing
these
deep tests and have returned home empty
handed.
Believe me, it can go bad in a hurry. Just
bring it
up
to Canada, Slocan lake is 970 feet deep 500 yards
off
shore. I will help you.
We can use my barge.

Jim, I am
thinking maybe what I should do is bite the bullet
and
drive
to lake Seneca, NY. Being able to test right off
the
boat
ramp is pretty desireable. The fastest I can tow is
4
mph,
but that is in calm circumstances. If it is wavy
like
the
ocean, or great lakes can be, that would be very
rought
several hour tow. Unless someone has a working
class
boat
with a crane they would loan me?
Hehe.Thanks,Scott Waters

Why

Hi Scott,
I'm about 18 miles inland at
Manitowoc and can offer a place to stay as
well as
a
well
equiped shop. I am planning to test mine soon
also!
Just
had
it out last weekend for a bit. Manitowoc has
an
exceptional
ramp for launching etc. The bad news is that
it is
about
21
miles out to get to 450 feet of depth.

Thanks
Chris,
Looks like I would have to go to the upper
lake to
avoid having to go out to the center. I might
be
better
going Fremont Lake, WY. That is a 12 hour
drive for
me. I
think I would be a little more protected from
the
elements
Thanks,
Scott Waters

Scott, check out the bathymetry of the lake
to see where you can test it to 450'
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/michiganlarge.jpg
I'm in the Chicago area, but don't
have any
contacts. I can help with support if needed.

Scott, If you go to Lake Michigan let me
know.

area
who may

After doing some research, I think my best
shot
for a depth test to 450' is lake Michigan.
Any
body
have
a contact in that area for help with this
test?
Lake
Michigan is about 10 hours away for me and
offers
plenty
of
depth, unless someone has another suggestion?
Thanks,
