A pricey toy for the well heeled diver who has everything already 8O !!!
U-Boat Worx is a Dutch company developing one-person and two-person submersibles called C-Questers. After more than 3 years of development and testing, U-Boat Worx has finally started shipping its first CQ1s; CQ2s will be available starting in January 2007. C-Questers can descend to 150 feet and cruise at a speed of 4 knots for 2.5 hours. In the event of an emergency, C-Questers have an onboard life support system guaranteed to last at least 36 hours. One of the biggest perks of a C-Quester is that it's a 1-atmosphere sub, meaning that because the pressure at the surface is the same as the pressure at depth, you can ascend as fast as like, without decompression stops. So what's the answer to the question we all want to know? A C-Quester starts at 55,000 Euros ($70,000).

| I wonder if they could be used in the DPV specialty or you would need to write a distinctive. Hmmm. |
