Karl got the idea to make a submersible when he was 9 years old and started construction of his first vehicle when he was 15 years old. This winged, gliding sub made it´s maiden voyage the same week he graduated college. It went on to make over 550 dives in 3 countries and paved the way for the construction of his latest vessel, Idabel.

Karl has been taking tourists, film-makers and scientists on dives up to half a mile deep off the island of Roatan, Honduras since 1998. This is the longest operating and deepest diving operation of it´s kind.

Karl is continually frustrated with the logistics of cost-effective deep ocean exploration and strongly believes a diesel electric sub capable of extended missions is the ultimate solution.
