The process of testing submarines underwater.

On Saturday, Musk began to have the idea of ​​building a "small submarine for children, using a liquid oxygen tube as a shell of the Falcon rocket". Elon asked SpaceX's engineers to start assembling and said that by the end of the 7th day it would be ready to use.

By the time the equipment was completed, Thai authorities had also begun to rescue the remaining boys, so perhaps Elon's device would not be used. But Musk said on Twitter that 'although not useful here, it will probably be used in the future'.

On Sunday, Elon posted pictures of the finished product.'After 3 hours of testing in LA, he has now flown to Thailand,' Musk said on Twitter. He also posted a video of this submarine experiment in the pool. This submarine's pipeline is very small, at its narrowest point, only about 38cm wide.
