The virgin oceanic submarine can dive 350 feet per minute

Now here’s a submarine which can take you to the deepest point of the oceans, anywhere in the world. The Virgin Oceanic submarine is a transformational technological advance in submarine economics and performance. The submarine provides the currently unequalled capability to take people to any depth in the oceans. It utilises the latest in composite technology and a completely unique flying wing to fly within the ocean environment. The submarine is many times less expensive to manufacture and operate than any of its less capable counterparts and is in harmony with its environment.

The vehicle is a design made from 8,000 pounds of carbon fibre and titanium. The pressure at the bottom of the deepest trench is over 1,000 atmospheres—the quartz dome alone is less than 13 million pounds of pressure, the weight of 3 space shuttles.
