[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dive Report

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Sure enough, Scott.

 

Those officials were able to write an interesting report for their month end meeting.  When they are in their retirement home they can reminisces about the time "that suspicious submarine showed up out of nowhere".   Funny.

 

Sometimes I get the query "Are you even allowed to have a submarine?" from the general public looky-loos.  Most people are genuinely interested and ask reasonable questions (or get their kid to ask).  Happily in this neck of the woods officialdom has no problem, it's just a boat.

Tim,

 

They had never dealt with a submarine. They thought I was a terrorist that was going to take a registered bright yellow submarine in the middle of the day light to blow up the dam with a invisible torpedo. Only reason they let me off is because I forgot my turban and my AK-47. haha. 

It basically translates as they don't have enough to do and they have to find some way to get their authority high for the day. Sometimes writing tickets for people with expired park tags just isn't enough. Our tax dollars hard at work. haha 

 

Thanks,

Scott Waters

Scott, 

 

What kind of hassles did the rangers give you?  Was it because they had never experienced a submarine diving in their lake, or was it because the boat was from out of state?

Hello All,

Just finished a series of dives at Beaver Lake Arkansas. As always with Corps of Engineers Lakes I got hassled alot by the rangers. 

We did 5 dives. The deepest of which was 85 feet. Everything functioned well except on the last dive there was so much condensation and moister, I started having electrical issues with a thruster. I believe it is from moister in the fuse block. I deffenetly have to adapt to making sure everything is sealed and water PROOF not water resistand.

The visibility was better than I am used to in Kansas, but was not the best because of so much rain lately. Visibility was about 10 feet until we got down to 70 feet then it cleared up to about 20 feet of visibility. I had a support dive take footage, so I will try to get that loaded up soon.

Thanks,

Scott Waters
