www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 9 marines dates back more than 200 years. Contemporary submarines represent many months, if not years, of effort in labs, workshops and garages by engineering stu- dents or individual entrepreneurs. Mr. Plazyk's Faux Fish, for example, was five years in design and construction of its three-part articulated fishtail propulsion system. The goal of all competitors is to design an underwater vehicle that can be powered successfully by scuba-clad teams through the course without malfunction- ing, crashing into the bottom, popping to the surface or simply failing to move through the water. news Since 1969 2190 Fortune Drive • San Jose, CA 95131 • U.S.A. • (408) 954-0522 • FAX: (408) 954-0902 sales@mail.geometrics.com • www.geometrics.com G-882 ~ Everything you ever wanted in a marine magnetometer. . . and more!
