If you are starting to do early Christmas gift shopping, here are two personal subs: one more expensive, one less.
Extravagant Neiman Marcus holiday catalog items announced
October 2, 2007 - You'd better be very good if you expect to receive one of the pricey gifts from the Neiman Marcus holiday catalog.
There's also the $1.4 million submarine. This isn't some stripped-down model. The sub is equipped with leather seats and air conditioning.
Or you can pilot the ultra-light plane used to track the monarch butterfly on its 3,000-mile migration from Canada to Mexico.
The two-seat, 22-foot-long submarine can dive 1,500 feet and cruise at 8 knots. Unlike a conventional submarine, it descends by using thrust instead of ballast.
"It's designed to cover a lot of ground. You can follow dolphins or view a shipwreck," said Jay Wade, co-founder of the maker, Deep Flight Submersibles of San Francisco.

The Dutch company U-Boat Worx displayed its colourful two-seater, $275,000 submarine, which looks like an underwater dodgem. Erik Hasselman, U-Boat Worx's head of sales and marketing, said the mini-sub was ideal for stowing on a yacht. It can dive to about 50 metres.
