purveyor of gadgetry and elegant gifts, hammacher schlemmer, introduces a revolutionary way of underwater travel. the ‘undersea aquahoverer’ is one of the easiest personal submarines to operate in the world, as it hovers in-place without the need for adjusting ballast; or managing drop weights. requiring no more skill than driving a car, the submersible’s fixed positive buoyancy combines with its six 400-rpm, 1.2-kilowatt ducted propellers—two front and four rear—to provide easy omnidirectional movement and stand-still hovering underwater next to reefs; wrecks; and exotic underwater species.
