I built my own 26ft submarine – people call COPS all the time but now I’m planning DIY water cannons & rocket launchers
THIS is the man who spent four years and over £20k building his own submarine - which can dive 60ft underwater.Steve, 30, spent over 4,000 hours building the solid steel structure from scratch and now has a fully-functioning, coastguard-approved submarine to cruise around in.
“The thing that blows my mind is that we were in a lake - she thought it was another country invading a lake."Gregg Wallace admits 'I'm f****d' as he fears MasterChef will sack him He designed Lake Defender entirely by himself, aided only by his submarine elders warning him of potential pitfalls: "They told me all the problems they ran into, the mistakes they made"
Despite being just a “toy”, Steve’s creation has a maximum dive-depth of 60ft, calculated by halving the crush depth shown by virtual pressure simulations. Steve "sadly knew people that had friends on board OceanGate", and says it "certainly had a major impact on the submersible industry". He has spent hundreds of hours researching, and the P-Subs community has links with designers and engineers for hobbyists to run their ideas by.
