Hey guys, new member here! I am an undergrad engineering student and I am currently working on a project for a course that requires designing a ballast system for a manned submersible and I was wondering...

Are there regulatory bodies in Canada that you know of that is responsible for regulations regarding the use of manned submersibles?

You could contact the Omer club at the ÉTS in Montreal who have been building human-powers submarines.
