Well, not literally, but that's the general idea.

I want one.

Take it a step or two up, and how about your own mobile, home away from home , only underwater. 5000 square feet of living space, and most of the capabilities of any military sub around the world. Except without the crapped quarters, 6 foot wide windows to watch the fishes on the reef you parked by this week. Oh, and that dolphin thing can dock with it above or below water!

Now that is freakin' awesome! Although you can gather by reading their material that they've never actually built one, they've just designed it.

$78 million - that's a significant chunk of change for something that is essentially experimental in nature.

Still, I want one of these too. Then you could just run right up to your room and dock it at the Hydropolis resort.

It's true they never built the big one, but they have built like 8 of the discovery model, which is carried on the back of a mega yacht, I think he said 7 of the larger stand alone nomad model, and they have even built two of the 100' long Seattle models, one of which is supposed to be entering charter service this fall I think in the Caribean, but I haven't seen it advertised anywhere yet. So it isn't all that expirimental, but when you are talking about any yacht over $50mil, it's always going to be a one off, semi-expiriment at least. And the big one is my ultimate goal in life, so when I get mine, you are all welcome to come check it out!

Hehe, my sentiments exactly when I first saw it Diane. And yes you can call me captain Nemo! I know, some say if I am to dream so big, my ultimate goal should have more meaning, like world peace or something. Nope, cruising the world in a giant submarine suits me just fine. Maybe it has something to do with the name. Dylan being Norse or Welsh for Posiedon or Neptune. So is it a dream to return home perhapse?...
