The iDive by Serhiy Yevtushenko, however, could be the green solution: it was designed to run on salt water. Although details on the iDive are scarce, it does look quite remarkable. The makers say it rides much like a dolphin. In fact, they say it is an extreme sport of its own, and have designed a high tech suit to accompany the watercraft. If you can imagine diving in and out of the water like a majestic dolphin, you’re able to share the vision with Serhiy Yevtushenko, the Ukrainian designer behind this marvelous concept. Sounds like a whale of a time!
