    U-Boat Worx's recreational mini-subs

    Mini-sub to make waves in tourism

    by ROSS MCGUINNESS - Wednesday, September 17, 2008
    It looks like something the futuristic TV cartoon family The Jetsons would fly around in.



    However, this contraption is not designed to go up but to dive to the bottom of the sea.

    It is the C-quester, a mini-submarine that could revolutionise the tourist industry.

    Made by U-Boat Worx, the four-seater orange craft is the latest in a series of submersibles made by the Dutch company.

    Having already produced a one-seater and a two-seater mini-sub, they hope the larger craft will appeal to the corporate market.

    The air-conditioned sub is a snip at just £315,000 and can allow passengers to view life under the sea for up to two hours at a time.

    FYI the U-Boat Worx's website is.........
