The Ego is an electric submarine that is guaranteed to change your perspective on open-water craft — it literally puts you face-to-face with fish while keeping you dry. Powered by an electric motor, the sub has a top speed of 4 knots for 4 hours and can run a total of 6-10 hours on a single charge. Its easy navigation system means that with next-to-zero training nearly everyone who can drive a car can drive the world’s first compact semi-submarine.

Omg, I want this! How much is it??
Is there a device built in to prevent ignorant drivers from mowing down important coral formations and other natural structures? If so, it sounds totally awesome.
Is there a way I can add a device to break up the coral reefs in my lagoon at home ? How much are the optional torpedo tubes? Can I have the skull and crossbones wrapped on it ? Nice steering staion up top, no way to steer it above deck, hmmmm.
