<div dir="ltr">Adding to Phil's analogy, watching something on TV just ain't as fun as being there physically. I am not a "dare-devil" risk taker, but I have to admit a large part of my interest in submersibles is the excitement of knowing that there is more at risk than an expensive machine. ~ Douglas S. </div>

<div>Haha. Jon, you never know what the future will bring. A fee things about that though is I'd have to find a company willing to sell (I wouldn't start it from scratch) and it would have to have a good ROI with promising growth. My current company is 7 stores all very profitable now and we are growing by about a store per year. If I could keep that same amount of sucsess and it be in submarines / underwater work, I would do it. </div>

<div>I have always heard that ROV's are cheaper to operate, less
risky, and cheaper to buy. I was curious what is the advantages
of submarines in the commercial world such as the oil industry?
It seems like Phil Nuyten has been able to be sucsessful with
submarines. Just a curiousity of mine.</div>
