FORGET yachts as a status symbol for the rich
and famous – the latest trend is to have your
very own submarine.
According to US journalist Christina Ng
from Good Morning America, the mega-rich
are increasingly looking underwater for their
thrills, with notable submarine owners
including movie director James Cameron as
well as human headline Sir Richard Branson.
Cameron – who is ironically famous for
directing Titanic – has this week launched a
mission to the bottom of the Mariana Trench,
hoping to make the seven mile downward
dive on his own to set a new world record
And last April Branson unveiled a singleperson
underwater craft which he claimed
would expand frontiers by exploring the five
deepest undersea locations.
