PRISM Featured

Fabien Cousteau has fabricated an artificial shark. If you go through the pages you can see a PRISM in a pool shot.

Oddly reminiscent of Barnum and the Big Top.

The shark sub is actually a pretty intresting idea, and very well executed.
It was build in Eddie Paul's "Shark Shop" here in the L.A. area. Eddie is a well known custom and movie car builder whose shop is like a candy store for car and movie nuts.

The shark is hydraulicly powered by compressed air from scuba tanks which also ends up in scuba tanks to avoid tell tale bubbles. The use of a CCR is a logical idea for the same reason.

I've met Fabien on several occasions at SMI, pool during shark testing and and visited his granfather's memorial at Casino Pt. for the first time with him. He's a genuinly nice guy and was quite excited about his upcoming trip to Mexico to film Great Whites.

I've got some pictures I took during one of the pool trials which I'll posted in the gallery .
At the same time Fabien, Eddie and the crew were sorting out the hydraulics and video system, a group of sailors went through their initial survival training. Jumping off the board in their survival suits, they had to swim across the pool and get into their life raft.
Their faces when seeing an 14ft. Great White swimming below them were priceless.

They were only topped by the faces at the local hot dog stand when Eddie pulled his Jeep in for a pit stop after the testing.

For anyone intrested in Fabien Cousteau's project here two more links:
An article in Wired magazine and Eddie Paul Industries . The latter has "Shark Shop" page with some more info and pics of the shark sub.
