Personal Submarine

The Phoenix 1000 is a 65-meter (213') personal luxury submarine. The initial design was originally executed for a client and now awaits a buyer. As proposed, the submarine would constitute the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built, and arguably, one of the most significant personal transportation devices of the century.

I once went in one of the tourist type ones a few years ago in St Thomas. They really are great fun and very interesting from a technical point of view.

They were purely battery driven though so I don't know whether they have developed a suitable engine/generator set to give them a far greater range.

What a toy, but I have to say if I had Tom Cruises money I would do the same as him and have my very own restored P51 Mustang. Now that is a toy!!!
