Richard Branson unveiled a new single-person submarine called DeepFlight, a submersible the billionaire plans to use for a deep-ocean dive to record depths.

Richard Branson gives over achievers a high benchmark to follow. Whether it’s creating his own business empire, high altitude global balloon flight, near space tourism or now plumbing the depths of earth’s oceans, he never seems to rest on his laurels. I could get winded just reading about his exploits.

“Many more people have been on the moon than have been below twenty thousand feet and we are hoping to get to thirty-six thousand feet.”
