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
