[@tylercarder581]

How much oxygen do you have in that thing. That's bad ass.

[@fjs1111]

Very nice.. however your flood valve is way undersized... If you need to swim out that flood valve will not fill that quick enough. maybe 10-12 minutes to fully flood but that's a guess.. you should to a trial on that

Fr. This is insanely cool!

[@battlebread1958]

Kinda dry, takes a quarter of the video to actually get around to even showing the inside of the sub and the video is half over when he finally begins to dive.

[@Wright1331]

it was a complete snoozer, wouldn't recommend... and i skimmed through and watched about a minute total, time for a nap.

[@theMooly]

Very bad editing, and camera angle, you can sadly see only a little bit of the marvel

[@AlphaChinoz]

Where's the kitchen? Where are the sleeping bunks? Where's the toilet? Where is the dining hall? Where's the rest of the crew? Where are the torpedo tubes? Where are the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile silos?

Haha. I might spend the night inside it for a video. Will me miserable but entertaining.

[@thesaltyschmuck1924]

One step at a time

[@Darrellychs]

Where is the flying sub?

[@moplum]

Cool video. Square view ports may be a weakness you should research. Square corners are prone to cracking. Round view ports do not have that weakness.

[@PlanesBoatsandSubmarines]

Thank you. (I address that concern in our Q&A video from a few months back in more detail). However, the viewports are safe for it's shallow design depth and have been reviewed by a submersible engineering firm. Round is the standard as it should be for deep diving submersibles, but this sub only dives to 60ft and the square viewports are rated well above to 320ft based on stress testing since they are square.

[@JGV_IX]

And this is why testing is important! Everyone is hating on ocean gate - and for good reason - so I applaud you setting the record straight on how things are properly done 👌🏻

[@dylanbrookes9501]

you took more care into building this sub than ocean gate ever has

[@PygmalionFaciebat]

Exactly my thoughts. I dont know anything about submarines, but just at first sight, this submarine looks 100 times safer built, and doesnt even want to go 1/100 of the depth Titan wanted to go. This dude seems to know: he cant trick physics, but needs to obey physics.

[@ChrryWrplan]

Look at that, someone who respects the ocean and submarine construction. Well done. WAY better than OceanGate.

[@Hamdad]

The more important factor is that it's for use in shallow water. Also where there's enough light to see, and all the pretty colorful stuff like coral reefs and nudibranchs live. There's not much good reason to send humans into the deep sea, it's a pitch black frigid desert with sparse life, better to send robots given the danger. The shallow sunlit waters of the continental shelf make for a much safer, and pleasant, playground for this sort of vehicle. That's not disparaging amazing machines like the Limiting Factor, but we don't need a hundred of 'em.

[@ZensFX_]

When I clicked on this video I did not expect to see a full on complex submarine, I was like WOAH!

[@TrueHelpTV]

Im sure youve had the same thought, but you need more cameras such as a dive camera for what may be below you *Make sure you have rescue instructions written on the barrel with a waterproof walkie in a wet box so people can communicate with you (including people who accidentally come across it unsure if you even need the help), and I'd make a secondary beacon that you can release, it floats to the surface and emits an alarm and strobe

Reminds me of Japanese Imperial Army, making there own Sub in WW2. The navy had there own priority and the JIA ordered a Sub, not to a Sub company which was occupied by orders from the navy, but a water tank manufacturing company which had no experience.

Really cool. Do you have plans to take it deeper? Do you have external lights for better visibility? Great work!

[@PlanesBoatsandSubmarines]

We were going to go deeper in this video but we realized that the visibility got much worse pass 20 feet and we wouldn't have got good camera footage. Lights only work about 10 feet in front of you with the visibility. However, when we can get a clearer water day. We will take it deeper! Thanks!

Technically, this is a submersible, not a submarine, as a submarine would need to be able to navigate in and out of port on its own rather than being tugged by a boat

[@PlanesBoatsandSubmarines]

It was tugged by a boat for the purpose of saving time filming, but it is capable of driving on it's own to and from the dock across the lake.

This is amazing! Another dive video and really test the limits. How long can you dive for? How deep is the lake at its deepest? Can you get a record for deepest or longest (or both!) submarine dive on your lake?
