Back in May we introduced you to the Innespace Dolphin personal watercraft. Now, it appears that the new aquatic vehicle might be ‘that’ gimic that attracts families to vacation resorts. Lets see what makes this far out piece of machinery so unique.
This aquatic vehicle can take passengers beneath the surface of the water, revolve 360 degrees and stand upright like a dolphin, may be released as early as next year, according to its developer. Thomas "Doc" Rowe, creator of the so-called "bionic dolphin," said he hopes to get the watercraft in resorts in 2007 and thinks the vehicle could have a broad array of applications in the future, including rescuing people in harsh ocean conditions.
"There's going to be a lot of utility found in this besides having a good time," he said, adding that the government of Bermuda has expressed interest in using the dolphin, which can travel 300 miles without refueling, as a water taxi.
