Ever fancied exploring the ocean in your own private submarine? Well now you can! This James Bond-style 'underwater plane' will take you down to depths of 2,000'. The hitch? It costs $2m…
The battery-powered Orcasub from Spymaster is 22' long and weighs 4 tonnes and you fly it like a private jet - only underwater.
According to the report in Pocketlint, the Orcasub features two 360° open view pods, each with 80 hours of life support - so you don't need all that scuba gear - collision avoidance sonar and digital long-range underwater communication system.
