 I received one of these messages last night as well:

It's always been my dream to dive on a submarine.

I was wondering if it would be possible to pay for a dive?
All the best,

There's something suspicious about this communication to me. If this person has all of our email addresses, he must certainly have the list address, right? Why not just start a topic on sub rides? Karl Stanley comes to mind right away... he's the only guy I know offering rides full-time. Snoopy is definitely not up to the chore at the moment, considering that she is still torn down for overhaul. We got hit by a house fire in the fall, and I'm right in the middle of building an airplane, so it'll be a while before she is operational again. Good news though: now that I'm operating out of an executive jet hangar, I have more than enough room for a 'Snoopy section' next to the airplane build! With a 28 foot ceiling I can finally afford to build my gantry higher... this'll make lifting her up SO much easier. ~ Doug

Legally, just like with a regular boat, to do it for money would require you have a Coast Guard's captain's license.  You could do it for freebut of the person were to get hurt or killed, you would open yourself to a whole bunch of liability issues.  Good luck trying trying to get insurancefor a personal submarine!

  I got one as well, just haven't answered him yet.  The only place I know other than commercial carriers in tourist areas is Mark Regan's submarine school.  Otherwise he'd have to find an individual owner to take him down.

   I don't know this person.  I think I'll suggest he wait until the airplanes are flying again and ride on a tourist submarine at a tropical island.

 This message popped up at two minutes after midnight.

 Hey Michael,

  I was wondering if you or anyone you know offers paid submarine dives? It's always been my dream to go for a ride in one.

 Any direction would be much appreciated! 
  Best,
 Matt  _______________________________________________
