I'm pretty sure the folks who would buy that thing do not want to actually get wet. That leaves out scuba or snorkeling, even those fancy yellow things.

Concept is okay, but execution . I bet they could double the battery life if they added the simplest of streamlining to the 'capsule'
I'd bet a solar panel array topside would supply all the power that it needs to operate those tiny motors, but I agree about the general design. A two seater would be a much better option, especially with comfy recliners and wet bar. Needs more external lights as well.
