<div dir="ltr">Welcome to PSUBS Ludwig! You will definitely find some awesome, informative people here who can help you answer questions and make design / fabrication decisions along the way. If possible, a visit to Scott Waters is definitely recommended.
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Bear in mind that I am a novice PSUBBER, but I'll give you my two cents on your situation: If you are a scuba diver and comfortable diving ambient, go for a wet or semi-dry sub, not full on dry ambient. I say this because there are still an infinite number of learning opportunities with a wet sub, but you aren't dealing with the ballast weight needed to sink an entire air-filled hull. If you really want to go dry, go one atmosphere. </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>If you are going to be leaving the states in 18-24 months, a wet sub (like a DPU / scooter or a bubble sub) seems like it's just the ticket... whatever you decide, good luck on your journey. Don't forget to pop back on to the list occasionally and give us updates on your progress. ~ Douglas S. </div>

<div>What I'm looking at now is building a dry ambient submarine. I would learn a lot with building it plus when I move aboard, I can set down and start building a 1 atm sub. I found a 3 man dry ambient submarine built in New Zealand by Brent Shaw that I'm looking at down scaling for one person.</div>

<div>I should also probably mention that I'm also a scuba diver so a dry ambient submarine won't be much of a problem.</div>

<div><span>If you only have 2 years you won't have enough time to finish</span></div>

<div>I've also debated if I should do a wet-sub instead because if I go that route, I wouldn't have to build a pressure hull. That would only limit me down to 130 foot allowed for recreational diving.</div>
