Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Got this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend's nine year old son, Zac. There was much excitement surrounding the festivities on Christmas morning, but nothing more looked forward to than the maiden voyage of our new submarine. We all stood around the pool as Zac turned on both the remote and the sub itself and gently eased the sub on to the surface. With both port and starboard props whirring, the sub's maiden voyage had begun. Then it happened. The propeller pods suddenly and without warning or input from the remote, rotated skyward. Despite Zacs frantic attempts to counter the movement, the sub plunged to a depth of 10 feet as we all watched in horror, and attached itself with the assistance of the thrust vector of the props to the bottom. As our pool temperature was in the low 60's I prudently elected to conduct salvage operations from poolside and with the assistance of a 14' gaff hook, was able to bring her up. She was doomed. Her hull had been breached by pool water which flooded the electrical compartment and rendered the sub useless and inoperable. My suggestion is that if you would like to purchase a remote submarine, buy one which A) responds to the controller and B) is WATERTIGHT!!!!
