I found this every interesting semi submersible at Nautical Niche at this link.... http://www.nauticalniche.com/undersea/yellowsubmarine.htm
 
I tried to find out more about it but there doesn't seem to be anything else about it on the net. Does anyone here know who manufacturers it?
 
Is it made by nautical niche or someone else? I e mailed nautical niche but no answer yet.
 
Even though the upper hull never submerges, doesn't she just scream out to have someone make
 
this design into an ambient sub? I get ideas just from looking at her. Imagine if she could be converted to be an ambient sub and then you could
 
have enough room at the top for 4 people or lots of room for two people on the surface, then just take her down shallow for a two person ride.
 
Modifications would have to be made first of course. Makes one think though doesn't it? A boat AND a almost pre made ambient?
 
If anyone knows more about this semi sub boat please let me know.
 
Thanks,
 
Bill.
