In most cases that's sadly the truth. However, after seeing this thread I started to look around, because I am still curious what kind of price range a personal submersible vehicle would be in. I found the following....

Model Seahorse Pioneer (1 Seater) - Price: From $35,000 USD [Specs]

And on the higher end of the scale..........

http://www.caribsub.com/images/discoverys.jpg

Model Seahorse Discovery (Cockpit Capacity 7 Persons) - Price: $265,000 USD / Pilot Certification: $3,000 USD / Optional Yearly Maintenance Contract w/Technician at your location: $15,000 USD [Specs]



There's a number of different models (frills and seating capacity) on the site, but those two were the only ones I could see with an actual price listed. The rest said "contact us."

Suprisingly, that first model above is less than I imagined, lol. That's the cost of a brand new middle/upper class model car/truck in the united states, I'd imagine?

First Seahorse model has a snorkle feature too, how cool is that? Automatic self closing valve, compressor for fresh air and ballast.

All they're missing is torpedos! :arrgh!:

Check them out @ Main Site Here

This almost brings the dream a little bit closer (for me). That first one is realistically affordable. Wonder how much maintenance on that model would be....

Edit: Adding this image cause that's just cool.

Looks like you gotta Bill gated to afford one.:yep:

I've just checked the GWX accounts....put me down for one of each :p

Sadly can't afford those. I'll just have to stick with a snorkel and scuba mask.

I still want a Phoenix 1000 - if only I could my hands on a few 10's of millions of the US $700 Billion bail out, err, economic stimulus, money....

Hmmmm.....
Estimated price of $78,000,000.......
If I put $2000 down.. what would my monthly payment be? :huh:

If you pay that much a month youl have it payed off in 38,000 months, or 3,250 years. You are gonna be a OLD man.:lol: :yep:

Incredible... Now I want one of those instead. :yep:
