 Tons of fun for kids and adults August 8, 2008
Jordan Roth (Maryland)
I bought this for my 10 year old brother's birthday (I'm, 26). Based on the reviews here it seemed like a pretty solid toy and my parents have a pool so he should have some fun with it. He got things ranging from video games to gift certificates and the first thing he played with was the submarine. I helped him get the batteries in it and chucked it in the pool, showed him how the controls worked and within 5 minutes he was having the time of his life.
I played with it a bit and it is very, very responsive. As soon as you press the button the propeller reacts, slowing down, turning or speeding up. It really is a great toy that people from all ages can enjoy, you can dive, surface, turn and do barrel rolls. The pressure of your pool determines the depth of a dive, ours dove about 2 feet into the pool.
 A water toy that is not water tight. Lasted 1 week. August 5, 2008

I bought this sub for my 10 year old grandson to play with in the pool. After a few days we noticed the whole darn thing was full of water and the electronics wouldn't work any more. We gave it some time to dry out, and found it still wouldn't work. I tried to do a return, but was told I missed it by one day. Basically, I just took 31 dollars and flushed it down the drain. I thought Amazon stood by their products to a greater extent. I will think twice before I buy electronic products from Amazon again.

My son loves this submarine! If the sub goes too deep, it doesn't react to the remote controller anymore. You should not stand IN a pool while you play with it.
I have a recommendation for you if you decide to purchase it - attach the controller to a lanyard or to a cord that will go around your child's neck so that if/when he drops it, it won't fall into the pool like ours did! I took some extra long ribbon and tied it to each side of the remote. If he drops it now, it will just hang there.
After each use, you need to open up the battery compartment and let anything wet dry out. We never take good care of our toys, and we are making a big effort to with this toy. All the kids line up for a turn with this toy! I'm purchasing another one for my nephew's Christmas present.

I got this RC toy for my grandson to use in our above ground pool. I liked it because it had round edges and did not seem to pose a threat to the pool liner. The sub has lived up to my expectations. It is fun, works well, dives, surfaces and is entertaining. My grandson, his father and even I have had fun with this. Once it gets to about 3 ft the RC starts to faulter, which is probably a good thing to keep it from going too deep.

This is the first water use R/C toy that has lasted more than a week. My son thinks it's cool.
