If you are a compulsive buyer move to the next article immediately. This Dolphin Watercraft made by INNESPACE looks like so much fun, you can actually jump up out of the water in the same fashion that dolphins do. A fully submersible watercraft that is designed to mimic the look and abilities of our beloved aquatic counterpart, the dolphin. The Dolphin, originally patented as a VASH (variable attitude submersible hydrofoil), was invented by Thomas Rowe in 1987 with his Dolphin, Noland 1. On September 7, 1992 it became the first lighter than water vehicle to ever successfully “fly” underwater. This groundbreaking craft proved the concept of underwater flight, and paved the way for a new form of aquatic transportation.”

Taken from the website:
How deep can the Innespace Dolphin dive?
Currently dives are restricted to just a few feet below the surface. When the snorkel, (located in the Dolphin’s dorsal fin) is submerged, the engine’s fresh air supply is cut off and the engine will start to lose power. The engine draws such a vacuum during these dives that cockpit air pressure will lower to the point where it often pops the pilot’s ears. Deeper dives may be possible in the future with the use of supplementary compressed air. Most of today’s engines with the necessary horsepower are too air-hungry for this to be a feasible option. The Dolphin uses 200 cubic feet per minute of air, while a Scuba tank holds only about 70 cubic feet of air. (Theoretically enough for a 20 second dive.)
Conclusion:
It cant even dive.. What’s the point. This is just a boat in the form of a dolphin.
