Thanks to the brains of French engineers, such a contraption as a pedal-powered submarine now exists. Scubster is more of a mini-sub, to be exact, but it can go 20 feet below the surface, and can be propelled at speeds up to 5 miles per hour. It may not sound like a lot, but this little guy could be perfect for anyone who wants to check out the world at 20 feet below without harming the precious habitat nearby.
There’s just one little thing… although the one-man cockpit is sealed, Scubster still requires its passenger to wear an oxygen tank and mask in order to breathe and see clearly. Either way–Scubster is a cool new way to see the sea.
