Future-ware.
Coming soon to an ocean near you!
No one seated within the first 2 fathoms will be admitted.
It should be good down to 10 feet with enough air for one good tryst.

A tasteful one-piece with high heels! Miss America 1966 would be proud.

The Johnson SeaLink submersible is built on this principle. But they used acrylic. For a long time, large cast acrylics were impossible due to bubbles and cracks. A sculptor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Beasley) tried for years and finally succeeded. Next thing he knows the USNavy comes to him asking for hemispheres. I don't know why glass was abandoned.

The link to the jpeg above works, if you cut and paste it. Note the sneaky use of spaces.

That is pretty cool! Too bad they aren't available to ride in.
