The patent application relates to a control system for a submersible barge wherein an operator can control the movements of the barge by pushing joy sticks in various directions which correspond psychologically with the desired movements. The barge has a ballast tank located in each of its lateral quadrants along with a system for independently ballasting or deballasting any one of the tanks. The mounting of the joy sticks on the barge and the configuration of the ballasting and deballasting system are such that the operator can control the barge in pitch or roll in regard to any one of the barges longitudinal or diagonal axes.
