Book Details - A Little Bit About a Lot of RC Submarine Stuff
Building remote controlled submarines is hard.
Unlike RC boats, cars and planes, there are not thousands of vendors supporting hundreds of thousands of worldwide hobbyists. Like their full-sized brethren, these craft ply the depths in one of the most unforgiving environments on the planet.
In "Diving Deep", I bring my extensive experience to bear in an attempt to demystify this amazing hobby, providing an overview of basic information, resources and techniques that the beginning submariner and experienced sub skipper alike will find useful in their building journey.
187 pages, full-color, illustrated.
About Me, Bob Martin - the RCSubGuy

He has collaborated with the US Navy and with NASA on various projects, and his scope of work ranges across the entire spectrum of RC submarines, from Steampunk to ROVs, and from scale historical to fantasy.

The book erroneously attributes the cover photo to me, but it was actually taken and supplied by Tom Chalfant. Full credit goes to him for this amazing photo!
Reviews and Testimonials
Finally – a guide to building and operating radio controlled submarines! This has been the publication which has been seriously required reading for model submarine enthusiasts, both beginners and experts.The first of its kind in print.
In it, Bob answers most of the questions modellers ask in an clear and uncomplicated way. It is also an entertaining read incorporating step by step photos and diagrams covering all aspects of the build, from suggestions for those taking their first steps to the more complicated aspects such as the art of trimming, balancing, controlling and other ways to arrive at owning a fully-functioning model submarine. Not only excellent guidance but also warnings of the possible pitfalls modellers may encounter on their projects and how to avoid them.
I thoroughly recommend the book to all those who, newcomers or old hands, wish to build a radio-controlled submarine. My thanks go to the author, Bob Martin, for producing what is, in effect, the model submariners bible.
