Got $325,000 that's just laying around your place, and looking to kill some time one week this spring? Then you might want to look into a modest vacation at Necker Island, where you are not only provided with the standard fun-in-the-sun found at a typical, run-of-the-mill, mom & pop private resort, but also something rather unique: a chance to "fly" underwater.
Guests on Necker Island, a retreat in the British Virgin Islands, will be able to dive underwater in a submarine dubbed the Necker Nymph for $25,000 a week. But that's only after shelling out around $300,000 for a one-week stay on Necker, the private island owned by billionaire and Virgin Group chairman Richard Branson.
Beginning on Feb. 20, two riders and a pilot and will be able to take the plunge from land, or from a boat. The underwater plane uses the downward pressure on its wings to fly through the water for up to two hours at a time, while an open cockpit will give riders a 360-degree view.
Maybe next fall, when The Hero wins the Main Event at the World Series of Poker, we can all take a little Crooked Straight staff retreat.
Hero—holla at ya boy.
