Why would anyone even considering buying a two million dollar submarine if it was cheap?

 

A unhappy marriage in the end...

What's a realistic price for a new safe 2-man submarine?
(not a surplus sub with even huger maintenance costs)

 

A cheap submarine is worthless.

The last quality you want in a sub is cheapness.

A realistice price for a new, safe, 2 - man sub is whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

 

Can get your money back very quickly though . Depends how much drugs you can load into it. I cant for the life in me see another reason for wanting one.


Very popular on the Mexican border " Border control National geographic"

Semis submersables built and used once and carry 7 tons.

Might be able to get one of those for less than 2 million

These mini-subs must appeal to rich men who want to go underwater without the physical demands of diving. Did you read Jules Verne when you were a kid?

Or how about

 

Thats not a sub or mini sub it has a jet ski engine driving a prop that breaths from air. It is driven under water and can not stay under water at all. It is buoyant and is more of a boat. Human life aboard is very difficult and the hatch needs to be opened frequently to be able to breath.


I wonder how they got rich!! I would imagine border authorities would take a very dim view of such real submarines.

All that money to peer out of a small window in murky water.

Something fishy going on here.

 

This isn't too murky


or

 

Exiting view--fantastic --worth 2 million dollars of anyones money.

 

When I was working at Comex Nucleaire in France I saw a whole pile of abandoned diving machines, make them an offer!

There were several really neat ones called wet subs for use with a wet suit, for one or two persons, seats, unsealed acrylic canopy and electric propulsion; that type is really safe as you can leave and swim for the surface at any time. The one in the second pic was an early prototype I think, a bit crude but very simple - you stood up with your head in an air bubble. A welder with plumbing experience could knock one up for you . . .

Don't bother bidding on the last one though - it's way past it's sink-by date!
