When building a submarine there's probably not many animals better than a dolphin to base it on, so with that in mind, the Seabreacher is off to a winning start.The 'base model' will set you back $48,000 and can cruise at 35-40mph whilst on the surface and 20mph underwater. Just don't expect to be going 20,000 leagues down below, it can only dive to 5 foot, because of its snorkel.
Still, you can act out Flipper: The Movie to your heart' content now.

@benson5: I think it might have something to do with the supply of air to the cockpit and the exhaust for the engine.
I really want one though, certainly beats a jetski and realsitically its not *that* expensive in the grand scheme of things

I would love to have one of those for when I'm on holiday. It would be great if they made these for public transport; instead of taking the bus from one enf of The Thames to the other, you could just get into one of these.

Flipper heck I so want one.
I don't understand the thing about the snorkel though. Is it water tight or not? - 7 months ago
