Mini Exploration Submarine "Guppy"

Description
This submarine is great for putting on a ship because of its tiny size.

No depth limit! I flew it over to the middle of the ocean and dove down 330 meters!

Summary:
The Guppy Sub boasts an amazing 3.25 x 2.75 x 2.5 meter (13 x 11 x 10 block) dimensions, allowing it to slip through the smallest of arches and caves. The submarine features a easy-to-use W/S depth control system, along with no ballast, so you don't have to worry about getting stranded on the bottom of the ocean because you couldn't pump water out of a ballast. The interior holds two monitors and a HUD, providing you with a map, depth, and bearing displays. Interior lights automatically change to red when it gets dark and exterior lighting includes a searchlight, caution flashers, and logo lights.

The submarine:
-Is meant for exploring from inside the capsule, so there's no airlock.
-Contains two medium batteries, and 5 small batteries.
-Moves at the same speed because until the battery charge drops below 50% because of a simple function gate.
-Has a top speed of 9 M/S surfaced and below water
-Can run 4+ kilometers before needing another charge
-Uses a W/S depth control system. "W" decreases depth, "S" increases depth. When you let off of the keys, the sub will hold at that depth.

There are no holes it just seems to not be buoyant enough i was thinking of getting rid of it and trying again. It might be cause of how long and tall it is but not THICC enough but then again i dont know anything about ship building.

I'm glad the Guppy is liked by so many people.

Unbreakify- I believe you might be thinking about another submarine. I just flew it to the middle of the ocean using my helicopter and drove it down 330 meters.

I just want to clarify that the battery I was writing about would have to be exposed in the wrong position.

Unbreakify, would you mind telling me which depth you were at when that happened? Thanks. I'll do a bit of further testing on my own.

SorrowsOfTheDead- I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly, I may not be too much help to you because I'm currently working on quite a few things at the same time. Yesterday I posted two things on the same day. I've got a few things planned for today as well. I can give you advice, however. It could be sinking for multiple reasons, but one main reason for sinking is if you've left a hole for water to get into. It could be anything from a wedge block to a battery positioned in the wrong way. One great way to test if a space is enclosed is to use a fluid meter. If not enclosed, it displays 0 or the height relative to the water level.

well. i think i found a problem with it.
it usually gets stuck around deep ocean diving, which it flies back up, maybe you can fix that? (i have 2 submarines so i sometimes can get confused which is which, so if this isnt the one sorry)
