I'd imagine though that the seas around Northern Europe probably don't have all that much to see and may be too murky to see very far. Still, so so so cool. I love how he built it to look like a real military sub with the black paint and the conning tower and everything. Amazingly cool in so many ways! Oh god damn that is cool.

I think the guy actually made three submarines, each larger than the previous and so clearly he knows what he is doing. Also he seems to be pretty conservative with what depth he'll take them to, so it seems perfectly safe to me. I'd love to find out more about things like the underwater endurance and the life support systems. Like does it just flush the cabin with compressed air from tanks or does it actually have a CO2 scrubber and bleed oxygen and everything. Either way, so awesome!
