The Underwater Experience--You Can Get It With a Submarine!
My fascination of the underwater world probably started when I read Jules Verne's book, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Then, watching the Disney movie of the same name in the theaters probably got my interest going even more.

Or, maybe it was from watching the television shows The Underwater World of Jacques Costeau and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Then, after traveling to the island of Guam and learning how to snorkel on the beautiful coral reefs around the island, I became even more fascinated with the underwater life and what mysteries it might hold.
On an aside, a recent news article mentioned that the recent Japan earthquake generated tsunami broke two submarines from their pier on Guam. Hmmmm. Submarines in the news!

Having a submarine to be able to leisurely explore the undersea world was one of my fantasies when I was a teenager! Seeing real submarines surfacing at Apra Harbor on the island was a fantastic experience. I knew that someday, I'd get a chance to ride on a submarine--to look through the view ports to see the fishes and other sights in the depths. This Squidoo is an attempt to assemble all my fascinations with these underwater vehicles. Please visit regularly--because I'll be adding goodies to it as I find them!
During some weekend "mini-vacations" to San Francisco, I got some pictures of the USS Pampanito (A WWII Submarine) from angles normally not seen (some from a Hornblower Yacht cruising by in the bay, and some from a Cessna 172 flying over at 3500 feet)--I've added those pictures here. The Maritime Museum is closed for Earthquake Renovation and Retrofitting--but the submarine is still open for viewing!
"I'm hoping for the day humans learn to breathe underwater, but I'm not holding my breath."

Getting the Submarine Experience!
No matter, this fascination with the undersea world was expanded when my Mom and Dad moved our family to a new home on Guam, the southern-most island of the Marianas Archipelago in the Western Pacific. On the way to Guam, we stopped at Disneyland and my sister and I had a chance to ride on their Submarine ride. It was an E-Ticket ride! Then, after we got to Guam and learned about reef-walking and snorkeling, my family (my Dad, my Sister, and I) had a chance to view the "undersea" world up-close and personal.
While living on Guam, we not only had chances to snorkel on the reef each weekend and all summer long, but we sometimes saw real submarines from the nearby US Naval Base surfacing on their way into Apra Harbor. Again, this further increased my fascination with the aquatic life and submarine living. During this time, the Beatles also had their hit song, "Yellow Submarine" playing on jukeboxes all over the island.
Guam had been the staging area for when Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard descended on January 23, 1960 to the deepest spot in the ocean--the Challenger Deep--in the Marianas Trench just off Guam's eastern coast. The onboard systems indicated a depth of 11,521 m (37,800 ft). However, more accurate measurements made in 1995 have found the Challenger Deep to be shallower, at 10,911 m (35,798 ft).

During my 12 years on the island, I saw the black sails of submarines breaking the surface a few times off the western coast of the island. My interest, however, had focused more to marine biology--I got my degree in biology at the University of Guam, where one of my professors at the University of Guam Marine Laboratory had been an aquanaut resident researcher on the SEALAB Project. His stories of his underwater adventures--and having to come and go from the undersea habitat by SCUBA gear--kept the students at the Marine Lab always asking for more.

Do It Yourself Submariners! Glub, Glub, Glub! Gotta Find Nemo!
Sometimes you just gotta build it yourself, if you want to do it right!
- Vulcania Submarine!
- This website is a huge collection of all sorts of goodies related to Submarines. And what's a lot of fun is the section you find when you scroll down to the Home-Made Submarines area. There's some fantastic imaginative concepts being realized here. Take a look and see for yourself!
- The Nautilus Revived and Running!
- A "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" fan has created his own personal Nautilus and this YouTube video shows him giving the vessel a "sea-test". Very cool!
- Disney's Nautilus Paper Model You Can Print Out On Your Computer!
- This link caught my attention as a cool project for kiddos and adults alike! (And, if you have a "printer-plotter" that can make HUGE printouts, I think you can see the "possibilities" here!)
- Wow! Great Video of Home-Built Submarine!
- I stumbled over this one and found this story... good stuff for inspiration!
- Same folks as the link above--Hypersubs!
- These guys have put together a totally cool submarine. It's fast, has a very long range, and seems functional in all aspects (maybe they could "rent it out" to the next James Bond movie, eh?) Seems like a cool vehicle for both industrial and corporate folks and private underwater-lovers alike!
- Submarine Lada!
- Hmmm... a Lada is a Russian car (trademark of AvtoVAZ) manufactured in Togliatti (Samara Oblast/Province). This YouTube video shows some creative thinkers turning their Lada into an underwada Lada! I hope the Lada didn't belong to their Fadda. (What's funny is that the Russian government --formerly the Soviet Union-- also has a "Lada-Class Project 677 diesel-electric submarine, which is a successor to the Type 877EKM and Type 636 Kilo-class submarines. This site, however, doesn't show one of these.)
- The Official DisneySub Website!
- Do you want 6,000 Nautilus images along with Plans and Articles? This official "DisneySub" website has a whole bunch of fun things about submarines and the Nautilus, in particular. You can even buy the CD full of these goodies.
- Hmmm. It's Yellow. It's Long. It Carries Passengers. The Yellow Submarine? Not Yet...
- Let's see, this thing is a bus modified to be amphibious.... Now consider if they added a snorkel and some ballast tanks to this thing. They did it with Jame's Bond's car, why can't they do it with a bus? It's obvious that someone is working on that now! Check it out here!
- Sub for Sale? A Real Sub. Yup. A Former Military Sub. For less than the price of an average California house!
- Website with the description and pictures of a sub for sale. What do you get for the guy who has everything?
Wow... if I had some extra cash laying around (yeah, right)... I'd buy this thing and turn it into a tourist attraction--with a restaurant and gift shop... maybe rent it out for overnight special events.... the possibilities are endless! - James Bond Style Submarine Boat ... (and it's a "Yellow Submarine", too!)...
- This thing looks like a speedboat on the surface... but then when it starts to sink, it will be intentional--and the thing will then resemble a futuristic submarine vehicle. Cool pics and description here...
Two Subs In Port - Try to Find the Other One! ..... (Hint: Look for the Periscope!)
The Submarine Nautilus (of the 20,000 leagues variety) for Your Home!
You Don't Have to Join a Navy to Experience a Submarine Ride!
The Atlantis submarines that thrill tourists in Hawaii, Bermuda, and Guam can seat up to 48 passengers for the smaller version and up to 64 passengers for the larger version. Unlike the Disney "submarine ride", however, these submarines are self-contained and submerge to about 100 feet (give or take about 20 feet--depending on the route they take). The Atlantis submarines are self-propelled and have a captain who drives the vehicle and at least two attendants who help folks down and up the ladder leading from the flat deck to the cabin.
Each submarine has an LED digital depth gauge on the bulkhead that provides a read-out of the submarine's current depth as it progresses through its route. Each passenger has a large porthole in front of his seat--enabling one to get a "fish-eye" view of the undersea world. Depending on which island and which reef you are exploring, your views will differ. At Waikiki, you can see some sunken boats and some "artificial reefs" teeming with fish and sea turtles. The attendants also present a running commentary on what folks can see from their seats.
Some pictures from our Atlantis submarine experience are provided here in this Squidoo lens.

From Some Submarines, You Can See What SCUBA Divers See
Research submarines and tourist submarines usually have port holes from which the researchers or tourists can see the view outside the sub. The viewing ports are usually made from very thick, high-pressure-tolerant plexiglass.However, most military submarines use only their sonar for underwater operations. They may also use what they can see from their periscopes for their view as well. More modern submarines have digital cameras and monitors that allow a view of the outside world--whether it's on the surface or below the water.
Military submarines use their periscopes so they can remain mostly underwater while taking a peek with the periscope above the water's surface. The periscope is relatively small compared to the rest of the submarine, so it is less likely to attract attention.

View from the Deep
Jacques Cousteau used a type of small submarine to investigate certain underwater features. Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute use a small remotely piloted submersible camera-platform (called a Remotely Operated Vehicle--ROV) and a robotic submersible (called an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle--AUV) to get unique pictures from the continental shelf and undersea canyons at the mouth of Monterey Bay.

- Forbes Island--San Francisco --Underwater Dining, Nautilus-style!
- When some folks read the book "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (or watch one of the various movies based on that book), they only dream. Millionaire houseboat designer Forbes Thor Kiddoo acted on that dream... and in 1975, after building 100s of houseboats, Kiddoo started with his inspiration from Jules Verne's vision and began to create his private floating home --a 50-foot wide, 100 foot long "island". Five years later, he launched his "Forbes Island"--and in 1983, his vision was completed--the world's only man-made floating island (complete with beachsand and growing palm trees. Kiddoo now shares his amazing home with others as a unique and entertaining dining experience. Although the island is available for private parties with advance reservations 7 days a week, the island can be visited for a fantasy dining experience Wednesday through Sunday starting at 5 pm. There's a full island-style bar that allows one to watch the sea lions that congregate at the harbor, a Bayside Tahitian-style banquet room that has a view of the waterfront and sunsets. For the submarine enthusiasts, however, you can experience the French dining experience of Captain Nemo in an underwater dining room (even has a fireplace!) that features underwater portholes and nautical artifacts. In the true Captain Nemo tradition, there's also a beneath-the-bay bar, kitchen, and wine cellar (the wines are kept chilled by bay-water cooling). Check out this website for more information and reservations -- for a unique submarine (Nautilus-style) dining experience!

- I'd forgotten about The Hunt for Red October. What a great flick. I will have to watch it again soon. Fascinated by subs - and this is a really great lens - but I'm a claustrophobic coward who can't even handle below decks on a ship for more than a half hour; have to leave the subs to you professionals!
