Sub Bug Dipper

grinch999 · Apr 19, 2012

I have just been given a DPV the only markings on it are Sub Bug and Dipper
It has to have a 12litre tank inside with a regulator to operate the up and down trim fins
2 electric motors to drive two props and a depth and contants gauge
You can also use the reg to breath while you dive

Anyone have any info really need so circuit drawings for the air system so I can fix it

Regards

Looks very interesting... Do you have more pictures of this from different angles?

His name was Martin Pemberton and he was an inventor and designer. Amongst the things he had invented or designed, he told me, were various crucial bits of tube trains, a wonderful new form of thinking toaster and also a Sub Bug.

What, I asked politely, was a Sub Bug?

A Sub Bug, he explained, was a jet-propelled underwater buggy sort of thing. A bit like the front half of a dolphin. You hold on to the rear and it pulls you through the sea at depths of up to thirty feet. Remember that bit in the movie of Thunderball? A bit like those things. Great for exploring coral reefs.

Maybe you could contact the designer - it seems to be this Martin Pemberton: http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/902783078

Hi, I don't know if you are still interested in getting your Sub-Bug fixed (if you haven't already done so) but I know Martin and can contact him for you if you like.
