A sub which doubles as a powerboat…how cool is that?

It’s the Marion Hyper Sub and you’ll find that while there is no price as of yet, you can damm well bet you’ll need to be diving for treasure to pay for this once it appears at your local port of call.

The Marion Hyper Sub is described by Tuvie as a “submersible powerboat.” What exactly does this mean? Think powerboat meets sub. It can reportedly run with the big boys on the surface at decent speeds and take you down underneath the waves when things start to get rough in the cloudy skies above.

The designers of the Hyper Sub apparently have been at this prototype for some 31 years. It’s definitely an awesome personal sub in the making but we want to know one thing - is there a USB beer cooler option somewhere?
