Necker Nymph
The ''Necker Nymph'' is a submersible vehicle operated by Virgin Aquatic〔Time Magazine, ("Virgin Founder Richard Branson" ), Dan Fletcher, ''1 September 2009'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕 from the 105-foot yacht Necker Belle,〔SuperYachts.com, ("Necker Nymph ‘Underwater Aircraft’ announced by Virgin Limited Edition" ) (accessed 25 July 2010)〕 which is based at the Virgin Limited Edition resort Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.〔New York Daily News, ("Richard Branson's latest toy? An underwater plane called 'Necker Nymph'" ), Catey Hill, ''Monday 1 February 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕
The ''Necker Nymph'' is the initial example of the DeepFlight Merlin class of positively-buoyant open-cockpit wet subs manufactured by Hawkes Ocean Technologies.〔gizmag.com, ("Necker Nymph: underwater flying becomes Virgin territory" ), Noel McKeegan, ''21 January 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕 It relies on hydrodynamic forces for anti-lift force. It is 15-feet long, capable of 360-degree "hydrobatic" maneuvers, can dive up to 130-feet underwater, and seats one pilot and two passengers in an open cockpit (necessitating wearing scuba gear).〔Jaunted.com, ("Richard Branson Has a New Toy: An Airplane-like Submarine!" ), ''2 February 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕〔Forbes.com, ("What billionaires do on summer vacations" ), Katie Evans, ''16 June 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕〔The Sun (London), ("Submergin' Atlantic" ), Richard Moriarty, ''29 January 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕 Occupants have a "windscreen" to protect them from the water's slipstream.〔Daily Mail, ("What to get the man who has everything? An underwater plane of course" ), Claire Bates, ''29 January 2010'' (accessed 25 July 2010)〕
