For those who can’t afford the $2 billion Migaloo M5, there’s always the option of building your own. Your DIY homemade submarine may not have all the bells and whistles of the billion dollar version, but at least it’s safe, according to Steve from YouTube’s Planes Boats and Submarines .
Weighing 6,000 pounds, “Lake Defender” is 26 feet long and built entirely by hand. However, it’s not something that just anyone can build, as the parts alone cost about US$26,000, and the cost continues to rise with each modification. At this time, it has undergone rigorous testing for personal diving, but has not yet been certified for commercial use. It can dive up to 60 feet and has an estimated impact depth of 120 feet.
