The vehicle is a one-of-a-kind deep diving submersible designed and custom-built for her exact location on Roatan, Honduras. The sub, which is the first in history constructed of three different sized spheres, is designed to safely transport three people to 3,000 feet (915 meters) below sea level.
The submersible is named "Idabel" in honor of the town in Oklahoma
where it was born, and whose inhabitants were more than helpful in the process.
The process of building the sub is featured in a documentary by Rooftop Pictures.
