My wife and I were recently at St. Thomas, VI and came across this tour. Once I saw it, I had to do it!
It's called Sea Trek, and you get to walk around the bottom of the ocean under thirty feet of water with a diving helmet on... ala Nemo!
The helmet weighs about 75lbs and gives you enough traction to walk around on the ocean floor. Air is pumped into the helmet from above, leaving your head nice and dry. The water was crystal clear to about fifty feet or so... absolutely beautiful.
Short of complete insanity (like one other person around here with his own working Nautilus and reproduction Nemo dive suit), this is about as close as I'll ever come to being Nemo. I've got a working model of the submarine and I've walked around the ocean floor just like his crew.
Now all that's left is for me to go on a murderous vigilante crusade and rid the world of 'warmongers'.
Hmmm... might need to wait on that a bit. I need to mow the grass this weekend.
Ya... that's me.
And this is my beautiful wife]http://www.rc-sub.com/images/1reneetrek.jpg[/img]
