Simon Lake dove his proof of concept submarine named the "Argonaut Jr." in 16 feet of water. We dove our replica of the Argonaut Jr. in over 25 ft of water. Simon give no details of the dive and surface process but this is how we successfully dove the replica repeatedly and it's the most likely process that Simon used because it provides the most controlled approach and required the least about of compressed air. Something Simon had only in short supply.

  • Did he use a hand crank?, I seem to recall he said he used a bicycle in his autobiography?.

    Someone really should do a movie on this inventor, Amazing man

  • @IronicallyVague "Two were driving wheels, with a chain drive connected to a crank inside the boat." ...he also said there was a manual propeller but the photos of the Argonaut Jr. do not show any signs of it.
