NYCkayaker The Human-powered Submarine

Fun!  This is a concept design, project, but seems doable.  I would  
love to see this in a single with a rudder.

Swedish designer Milko Ozlu has always been intrigued by the concept  
of the powered exoskeleton and body amplifiers. When the US Military  
experimented with the springwalker concept in the late 1980s, Ozlu  
was fascinated, though it was long before he studied for his BA in  
industrial design at Konstfack in Stockholm. His ideas followed  
through and when he was studying for his masters degree at the  
vehicle design department of the world-renowned Royal College of Art  
in London, it resulted in one of the most interesting degree projects  
we’ve seen – the U-Scull, a new type of human powered sports- 
submarine that operates in shallow depths.
