Best place for it...the pool below it is too deep and the top ups are free.

Makes no sense at all!

Sailing in the Caribbean, the pool means that you can swim without fear of sharks unlike going over the side into the sea. Although there may be an option to have a shark filled pool for the super villain.

Boring historical anecdote #137631:
In WW2, a German sailor took some serious injury or death (can't remember which exactly) from hitting his head on the saddle tanks in an attempt to jump into the ocean. After this incident uboat crews were forbidden to jump into the water for recreation. Don't know if slowly entering the water was ok, after the closure of the Allied Atlantic air gap, this would have been allowed only in remote waters anyhow.

Ninja edit: it was a Kaleun by the name of Rolf Mützelburg, he died shortly after the accident. Apparently there is a controversity if he hit the deck or the saddle tanks: http://uboat.net/men/muetzelburg.htm

Haven't we have had a discussion about owning your own sub before. I seem to recall someone posted a link to a company or something, were you could buy your own sub, some years ago.

Maybe I'm wrong.
