Nemo and his companions on the Nautilus would find themselves quite at home in this self-contained underwater retreat, complete with wraparound views and dupped Lovers Deep.

A project of Oliver’s Travels, the vessel can help the rich and famous sneak away from prying eyes, submerging itself then depositing its passengers on a remote romantic island, or simply treating its hidden guests to secret seafood dinners under the sea.

The interior features a full kitchen, bar and living spaces with long horizontal windows to take in the scenery and wildlife. Chefs and concierges, located on the upper level but available on demand, can be provided as well to help customize the experience.

However, unless you, like the eccentric protagonist of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, can offset the cost of your voyage via hidden stashes of wealth, you may have a hard time paying the $ 100,000+ per-night price tag this vessel demands.

Nikonos reborn? Our first impressions review of the submersible Nikon AW1

19 Sep

The Nikon 1 System has been around for a couple of years now, but the emergence of the AW1 signals a radical departure from what has been the norm. Functionally very similar to the 14MP J3 which Nikon announced earlier this year, the AW1 is waterproof to 15m (49ft), shockproof from 2m (6.6 ft), and freezeproof. It’s being announced alongside two equally rugged lenses, and a range of colorful silicone skins for underwater and wet weather use. We had the opportunity to use the new camera recently, and we’ve put together a first impressions review covering its design, operation and key features. Click through for a link.
