I need plans to build a small 12 volt battery powered underwater scubadiver towing submarine. The unit will have a watertight fiberglass casing holding the battery and motor to drive a small propeller to move the submarine. A handle in the back where the scubadiver hangs onto.

Here is a website that has TONS of information:

I would love to build one myself, but, ummm well, afraid of not doing that one thing correctly and drowning...
Good luck!

You can try to build one, but it will be a lot easier and cheaper to buy one. Most of the big marine stores carry these and you can get one for $150 to $750 depending on capabilities. The problem with trying to build one is the seals. It is a very tricky business to create waterproof electrical seals that will hold up in the real world. The manufacturer's have figured it out for you.
