The Yellow Submarine

Front Shot of Submarine

The Submarine - approximately 13' - This 2-man sub, is a battery powered vessel, that is propelled and maneuvered by (4) 12 Volt thrust motors.  The sub can be towed to a specific site, submersed and maneuvered about with ease. Being able to enter in a dry environment will allow us to extend our work into the colder months when underwater visibility is greater. 

Cameras, lighting, and sound equipment can all be mounted on the bow framework.  This system would give us the opportunity to serve the folks that care about the bay even more.

Good news! We have in the works to get a trailer that we can launch and retrieve the sub, rather than the flatbed as you see in the pictures.  This is a big step forward!

bullet Although we are working on it, the sub is currently unserviceable, until funds are raised.

 

Charlie & Submarine Volunteer & Co-Founder Charlie Depping shows a future diver the inside of the sub.
Volunteer Linda shows us when you see the actual size of the submarine with an adult person in it, it gives you a better idea of just how small it really is.  Imagine two people in there! Linda in Submarine
Jim and Submarine "Imagine the possibilities", explains Co-Founder & Volunteer Jim Devereux.
