[PSUBS-MAILIST] Jodie B Oyster Beds dive

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks James, that's amazing.
I thought 4M tides in NZ were bad. You must get a lot of current.
Those port holes in the ballast tank would give you the reassurance that
you would see a boat hull if you were diving shallow or surfacing.

There are a couple that would work for a trailer launch but they are in the main harbour and the dive sites are rubbish.  The bobcat works well, it just takes a while. We have big tides here, 10 meters some days.
