The submarine was formed from an Esprit body shell supplied by Lotus, with the addition of four propellor units, ballast tanks and power provided by batteries sealed in a water-tight compartment. During filming in the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas, the craft was operated from within by a former Navy SEAL dressed in full scuba diving gear.
