Would You Venture 2,000 Feet Below the Waves in This Homemade Submarine?

Building a homemade submarine is a complex and potentially dangerous endeavor that requires a deep understanding of engineering, materials, and safety protocols. However, enthusiasts have been inspired by the story of Karl Stanley, who built a homemade submarine named Idabel in Roatan, Honduras.
Built with a steel hull and capable of reaching depths of over 2000 feet, Idabel is used for deep-sea exploration tours in Roatan. Stanley’s success was due to meticulous planning, rigorous testing, and a passion for marine exploration.
While the idea of building a homemade submarine is exciting, it is essential to prioritize safety, thorough planning, and compliance with legal requirements. This project should not be undertaken lightly and ideally involves collaboration with experienced professionals.
These tourists from Canada were curious about the prospect of exploring the depths and seeing the underwater world from the safety of a submersible. But the thought of doing so in a submarine built without the safety standards that we are accustomed to in North America made these guests decide that scuba diving might be a better option.
Would you consider going more than 2,000 feet beneath the waves in a sub that looks like a minion from the famous animated movies?
