The story

A new generation of deep-sea submarines light enough to launch from a yacht could open up the ocean’s depths to amateur explorers.

The “Deep Flight” winged submersibles are experimental prototypes designed to dive to depths of up to 37,000 ft — almost four times as deep as a giant squid dives — descending at 400 ft/minute.

They are the brainchild of submarine designer Graham Hawkes who is in the process of building commercial models that can reach those depths.
