Well, we've now got a render of the hydrobatic Necker Nymph (http://gizmodo.com/tag/neckernymph/), as it's been named.
The billionaire is taking delivery of the carbon-fiber underwater plane (http://gizmodo.com/tag/underwaterplane/) on February 20, and it will be available to guests at his luxury Necker Island resort. Sub, underwater plane, call it what you will, the Nymph uses fighter jet technology (pew pew) and is piloted with a joystick.
Although Branson has said that the carbon-fiber underwater plane would be able to go down to 35,000 feet, the $670,000 submersible can, for now, only dive to 130 feet. Yeah, well so can I, Richard - the only difference being, as far as I can see, is that I'm not a virgin.
