Boats

Jesse, from Free Willy, wishes he had access to this back in 1993 when he saved his beloved orca killer whale.  The Killer Whale “Submarine” is a two-person watercraft designed after the Orcinus Orca and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 50mph over the water’s surface and can reach speeds of 25mph while submerged.

The watercraft is capable of submerging underwater about five feet deep as the integrated snorkel in the dorsal fins needs access to air. The watercraft features watertight half-inch thick acrylic canopy which has push and pull twin control levers which articulate the whale’s pectoral fins to execute rolls and stealthy dives just like the real whale.

First there was cruising above the surface of the water with the Jetlev R200, and then came the not so cool Aquaskipper, where you use human power to propel yourself across the surface of the water in a very lame looking contraption.

And now we have the Subwing, where you get to glide under water as a dolphin would. It’s basically a small wing you hold on to while being pulled along by a boat. The Subwing allows you to move sideways, twist, and even dive. Based on what I saw in the video below, one could hurt themselves if not careful. But then again, that can apply to anything.
