AquaView- Sir Richard Branson billionaire Entrepreneur, recently showed yet again his extravagant side with the unveiling of his new aero submarine christened the “Necker Nymph” which is unlike anything else in the world. Branson, who already owns a mobile phone company, a record label, an airline, a Caribbean island, space travel and a handful of luxury restaurants just added one more frontier to his portfolio- The Sea!
The 3-seater submersible built in the likeness of a fighter plane, uses the same principles of flight through air underwater. The Necker Nymph that runs on battery that’s so quiet it just glides through the water with very low noise emissions and low light to avoid interfering with fragile ecosystems. It has an open cockpit and passengers use scuba gear, stored in the craft which can dive to depths of up to 130ft. The unique submersible cost around 415,000 British pounds and the billionaire has lofty aspirations to eventually create a plane that explore depths of 35,000 feet. Designed by Hawkes Ocean Technologies, the Necker Nymph is the first underwater plane to ever be designed and an entirely new class of vehicle.
Man this Branson guy knows how to throw money around on awesome shit. I want a space plane and a underwater speedin whip. Guess I'll just have to work even harder on this blog. Or you could donate. Or I could rob you - either way is ok with me, maybe not so much with you.
Or you could watch some of my full length feature films.....Granted whatever Branson makes it's gonna be awesome. Like the "Deep Search".
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
