So, we talked about iBubble in the past (it's a 3 years old project..), but now it's approaching to its "release" and more videos have come out.
It looks really promising, but because it does crazy things, but because it'll be the first autonomous underwater vehicle and if proven to work it could go well behind the fun applications and selfies.
The price is a major step... I hope it will open the field to a more consumer friendly market.

looks really cool! and expensive
 
I would love to test it out, I see that in a recent video they were here in the Canary ( knowing it before!) ...but yeah, there's no way I would afford that price if not proven to be "perfect".
 
I now own one of these terrific machines. I cannot seem to get a line on obtaining the Tether they make for it, so will just explore more by "Piggybacking" the Homing device to a "Chasing Dory" drone that is tethered, and have it do its thing, on a "Predive" scenario. I also have many other ideas and plans for it too, and as I learn it's capabilities will explore those as well. If any other owners out their would wish to collaborate on their uses and experiences I will do the same.

The original Company sold out to another company and the dust has not yet settled. Due to that whole Globel Plannedemic they could not get traction, I sure hope they do now!!!!
