Small spaces, especially underwater, make me nervous, but when I considered all the fun (read romance) I could have in an all-dry SportSub, I changed my mind, because let’s face it, cozy is good.

The idea of sipping dirty martinis as we watch dolphins swim by sounds like the perfect date. And think of the grand entrance you could pull off at Cannes? Exiting from the top hatch of the sub in your stunning red carpet ready gown should get your photo in People magazine. Because of the handy top hatch you never even have to touch the water.

The SportSub can provide between two to six people unobstructed visibility of sea life just below the waves and on the ocean floor. A Depth Control System provides auto-hover and auto-target capabilities that allow it to maneuver like a helicopter – up, down, forward, backward, and sideways. You can even take your hands off the controls (mixing martinis, fastening the gown) and the auto-hover feature automatically holds the sub at your current depth.

The company also makes a Surveillance sub, originally designed for the Barcelona Olympics, that can operate in total black out conditions (hey, another use for your night vision goggles) so your personal security team can keep the waters in front of your Malibu home free from pesky amphibious paparazzi.

SportSubs can be tucked on the aft deck of your mega yacht and we know that a certain bachelor Crown Prince recently purchased one in yellow. Don’t ask us about our sources, we’ll never give them up.
