# Fierce Fish-Shaped Submersibles The Neptune MM2 is a Badass Undersea Explorer By Michael Hines | Published 2011-02-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neptune-mm2 References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/neptune-mm2-two-seater-sport-micro-submersible/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/vt8) I might be able to break my paralyzing fear of submarines if I could only ride in the Neptune MM2. Designer Vil Tsimenzin designed the Neptune MM2 as a [nimble sea cruiser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-jet-ski-yacht) that can fit two comfortably. The Neptune MM2 has a [maximum depth of 750 feet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nereid-marine-habitat) and can hit up to 12 knots underwater. Tsimenzin's sub is unfortunately still a concept, but I am holding out hope that this bad boy will see the water one day. I'm coming for you, Aquaman. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Submersible Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing advanced submersibles for exploration and transportation purposes. - **Underwater Exploration:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating innovative tools and vehicles to explore the depths of the ocean. - **Personal Submersibles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing smaller, more affordable submersibles for personal use and tourism. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marine Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing cutting-edge technologies for underwater exploration and transportation. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique underwater experiences for tourists and travelers. - **Engineering and Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing and manufacturing advanced submersibles and underwater equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Manta Ray-Inspired Submarines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kronos-armored-submarine.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uboat-worx-super-sub.md) - [Tourism-Focused Electric Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-submersible.md) - [Dual-Motor Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sublue-navbow-underwater-scooter.md) - [Luxe Submersive Superyachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migaloo.md) - [Hyper-Luxury Submersible Superyachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migaloo-m5-superyacht.md) - [High-Speed Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sublue-vapor.md) - [Personal Aquatic Scooter Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooter-concept.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md)
