"Graham Hawkes has spent most of his life creating new ways to plumb the ocean’s depths. Earlier this year he publicly unveiled his latest vehicle: a sleek, winged submersible dubbed the Deep Flight
Super Falcon, which operates on principles of lift and drag, like an airplane. The craft, which should provide unprecedented subsea speed and maneuverability, will be used to ferry policymakers and others into the country’s national marine sanctuaries. And the Super Falcon design is production-ready, so yachters and other wealthy nature lovers can buy their own. The price tag: about $1.5 million. "
