I think that's where I sourced mine. It's worth buying in bulk to get the postage down.

see my reply in the Gato thread.

I'm searching for clear plastic mailing tubes.  My thoughts are that we needn't use thick wall tubing at the depths that most use their subs.  I've found a number of suppliers here in the US but they sell in bulk quantities so I must locate a mailing center that sells them individually.

I wouldn't go too thin. Granted. most subs rarely dive beyond a couple of metres, but you want a safety factor, in the event that the boat does go deeper i.e. when out of control etc.
