Virgin Oceanic

This week, renowned entrepreneur and adventurer Richard Branson unveiled "Virgin Oceanic"; his mission to explore the depths of the oceans that have never been reached before. The submarine, designed by Graham Hawkes, uses a combination of various advanced materials and technology to enable 'full ocean depth' capability. The first dive, down the Marianna Trench (11km below sea level) in the Pacific Ocean, is scheduled for sometime later this year.
