Submarine Kayak - Part 1
080123 Like and subscribe. This is an archive, check the link in the end if you are owner. This is the first video in my series on converting a kayak into a wet submarine. I found that my original submarine was a hassle to operate, because it required a heavy trailer and had to be launched from a boat ramp. This made it difficult to accomplish my goal of diving on coral reefs in the ocean, because most boat ramps are usually several miles from inlets, and inlet crossings were hazardous in the large, slow submarine.
On the other hand, this specially modified kayak is lightweight and portable. I can load it in the back of my truck, and drag it across a beach, or even through the jungle to reach springs farther inland in Florida. It will function as an ordinary kayak on the surface - being propelled either by rowing or with a trolling motor, and then submerge. Ideally, it'll be neutrally bouyant when submerged, and control its depth with dive planes. Flexible ballast bags and a powerful bilge pump will be used to return to the surface.
