Over view: Take your friends on an undersea adventure, (blake sea) explore parts of second life you may not have known, even existed. Become immersed in the operation and realistic functionality of this vehicle; make sure you have enough oxygen and battery power; monitor carbon dioxide levels. Customize the submarine using a powerful color changing system that is capable of saving and sharing custom color combinations with other owners. Make use of the fully functional interactive dashboard and steering device. Become the captain of the most complex, most advanced submarine within second life.
(Note) During the development process I personally spent a lot of time researching exactly how submarines work, so I can say with complete confidence that this submarine is very realistic in its functionality. This is not a simple vehicle; you will have go through a learning process in order to operate it well, (do not expect to just sit in and go).

simply the best
if you want the best here it is dont need to look anywhere else.
only the best
If you want the best here it is ......ask for a mod copy but don't say I said so....in case you want to add a rocking script.....this is the best of the best
I love it
but that blaring oxygen level warning siren needs to go LOL
I like it, is an understatement
Im not sure I can say enough good about the vehicle but here goes. Lets start with the 1 thing thats missing for me. I think it needs an unscripted ladder to exit the hatch rather than judging your jump to land on top. Other than that this thing is blooming awesome.
2 hour demo available which is more than enough
Sim crossings. What are they? I had draw distance at 400m and even at full speed there was nothing more than a blip and often, not even a blip. Water does not enter the vehicle even with the hatch open lol.
Driving it is a dream, its so easy to operate in or out of mouselook. I love the fully functional dashboard even in mouselook & I love having to watch CO2, Oxygen and battery levels & surface to top them up when the alarms start to sound. The sub has manual or cruise control which allows me to chat whilst driving, especially as I bought this for a tour guide vehicle.
The passenger area has 6 seats each with 6 anims & a passenger can also sit in the copilot seat making 7 in total, more than enough for a tour without adding too much lag to the journey. Oh and folks can walk around inside when the sub is stationary. The windows are big without being ugly which allows for fab views for your guests.
My final point is this. I dont usually buy no mod things because I like to play & this sub is not mod, but it doesnt need anything adding or subtracting, its perfect as it is but it does come with a full texture pack so that you can make your own livery but if you don't want to bother with that, the hud has a fully customizable colour changer for every single part of the sub and you can also get textures from other owners if you wish.
All in all I will never regret buying this it is flipping wonderful. Thanks very much.
The best of Second Life.
I recommend it to explore the waters of Second Life and its secrets.
submerged splendor
This vehicle is totally sweet. I have to say, the fun factor of this vehicle is like no other in SL. Having one fairly begs for a watery parcel in your sim to explore, full of reefs and treasure and exploration. my only complaint is that it is noisy. I ended up partitioning off a parcel to park it in on my sim and turned off the sound to that parcel for all the beeping. Still, an amazing little adventure craft. Would be interesting to use on a sailing sim for sure :D
