An electric-powered 'wet' sport submarine for skin divers and aqualung users: you cover more bottom without spending energy swimming, so your air lasts longer. The hull is Plyfoam with fiberglass and epoxy laid up over a wooden mold; the authors explain why epoxy, not polyester, must be used on the foam.
