Sink your teeth into this
Posted on October 28th 2009
The thought of spending a day fishing but catching no fish is not one even worth thinking about, but engineers have now found a way you can search the bed of the lake without leaving your boat. The all new scubacraft is a boat and submarine in one, capable of speeds of up to 50mph and an engine that pumps out 160hp on the water. It is the perfect way to spend a day out on or under the water. The new age craft costs around £100,000 and can be driven by any person who is willing to fork out the money.
The specially engineered hull and light body of 400kg allows the boat to merge from a boat in to a submarine with the capability of diving up to 100ft under water. The scubacraft comes equiped with an underwater communication system as well as an onboard air supply. The boat is powered by a jet propulsion system and uses buoyancy tubes that are integrated in its hull allowing the craft to submerge and emerge out of the water. This simple yet brilliant design from the Welsh company, Creative Worldwide is an engineering masterpiece and is sure to be loads of fun.
