    On my list of silly things I'd buy if I were rich is certainly the submersible and fast watercraft some adventurous Kiwis are currently calling "The Seabreacher." This watercraft can go 50 mph on the surface and 25 mph below. Queenstown adventure company Hydro Attack will actually take you out on one. Want one closer to home? Buy it now from the link below.

    @ingtar - Yeah we've talked about it before. It keeps popping up in the news. I still want one!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I can see blowing $140,000 for something that gets 20 ft out of the water if you had money to burn. It would be fun to just see one in the water, but a lot more fun to blow threw the ocean. I wonder how much air you can get with some bigger waves if you knew what your were doing. Definitely not for those inclined to sea sickness.

    I hadn't thought of waves. That would be something. :)

    That is quite cool. The fact it looks so much like a whale you could definately be quite incognito while checking out tons of sealife that would normally get spooked by divers.

    Haha. Nice. Perhaps a rack for a fishing pole too? :)
