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).

Fantastic Sub
This is by far the best sub I have tried in SL. Sim crossings are very good, with only a tiny jolt, directional controls are easy to get the hang of, as are the other systems with a few minutes practice. Everything works exactly as it should, and everything looks great while doing it. The low land impact is the icing on the cake.
There are only two tiny (really tiny) things that could improve it. The range for the projector lights could do with being a little greater, although the existing range is more realistic in the depth of the ocean, so maybe a switch could work well to change from realistic to long range lighting. The second thing is getting out of it. I can see that a ladder would get in the way too much, so maybe a sit target script in the extinguisher, that could place you outside when sat on, could be added. Then simple stand after sitting. It can be tricky trying to jump/fly out of the hatch. As I say, these are tiny things, that are totally acceptable given the quality of everything else on it.
Very happy with the purchase :]
Why 5 stars you ask
Taking time to explore is the most fascinating in real life & virtual worlds, It never ceases to amaze me the kind of time creators utilize to make great vessels such as this. If you like boats, sailing, or aviation, then grab a ride find out just what does appear, places you never thought existed.

really awesome
this thing is so much fun to use. the whole dashboard has functional buttons and instruments, there is not one piece of useless eyecandy on this thing (and from a technical standpoint its a quite plausible diving vessel for low depths) . very smooth scripting. i love it. i just wish it would have a diving hatch in the back on the floor so i could exit it underwater, with some sort of faked water surface inside the hatch. other than that, very much recommended submarine. i already had its predecessor , it had the same kind of submarine simulation, but this adds so much more awesome features, and a really great vehicle design to the already great scripting.
Awsome submarine
this sub is beautiful in every way, shape and form, it's awsome and works really well under water, worth every linden imho :)
Wonderful Way To Explore!
This sub is a fun, low LI, engaging craft to explore the deep and shallows of SL! Plenty of customization possible with textures and colors, and a spacious cabin for passengers. Highly recommend!
