Scubster - The Pedal-Powered Submarine

Here is to hoping that the next time you find yourself at a beach-side resort that some version of the 'Scubster' - a 14-foot pedal-powered submarine - is available for rent. The Scubster was designed by Stephane Rousson and his French team for the 2011 International Submarine Race. Although it is a 'wet' submarine and has only dived to six meters in tests so far, Team 3reef would certainly give it a go if given a chance. Just let us know.

That's cool, but what's the purpose is it to have a sub, that you still need to where scuba gear?

 

I would think it would open up the possibility of traveling a little faster with mechanical assistance - besides - its one more thing to bling out - I can see some 22's on that mother and a big pair of fuzzy dice in the cockpit!!!

 

i was actually thinking the same thing Seano i wouldnt pay to rent something when its not really going to do anything but let me snorkle sitting up

 

Hey Matt,

I think for next years DIY contest, that should be the prize ?

Just saying...

 

It has to be the toy factor because as a diver I would hate the encumbrance of that thing, if its a speed issue they have the Underwater scooter thats hand held and can be rented for $25.00/day

 

well ill take one for free if they want someone to test it out

 

Seems like it would be easier to just swim!

 

its so the sharks have a harder time eating your face

 

lmao. :yelrotflm
