There’s no information in the listing about how this submarine is powered, and that is a vital piece of information, largely just to satisfy the curiosity behind who made this and how. It shows the obvious, which is that occupants need to don sufficient scuba gear before heading underwater, and that this looks like a hell of a lot of fun. The seller includes a period photo of the submarine, likely from a brochure or some other piece of marketing material. More to the point, I want to hear more from the seller about his apparently active use of this underwater artifact. And maybe that would keep some folks safe, but man – how boring! Per my earlier comment about modern day personal submarines being incredibly expensive, I’d love to know if this was the submarine for everyone, or if it, too, was out of reach of most consumers when you adjust for inflation. In other words, I feel something like this today would be so strangled and smothered by regulations, there’s no way it’d ever reach meaningful production.

Now, I love stuff like this, seemingly created at a time when safety regulations were a few steps behind the manufacturing phase. Find it here on Facebook in Connecticut for $7,500.

The seller indicates that it’s still “…super fun,” which I can only take to mean that he’s been under the waves with this Jetsons-era creation. With the going rate for a person, two-man submarine well into the millions of dollars, may I present to you a more affordable alternative? This no-name two man submersible submarine supposedly hails from 1963, but that’s about all the seller tells us about this oddball, which looks both hugely fun and abjectly terrifying considering this is essentially an adult Powerwheels that goes below the waves.
