Since selling the first SportSub in 1987, subs have been sold to many customers in over 18 different countries around the world. Most of the early customers were international dealers who were selling SportSubs to their customers in their own countries. The end users were private owners, resort tour operators, and commercial users. One of the greatest complements to SportSubs is their acceptance by those who buy the best. SportSubs have been purchased by everyone from Crown Princes to adventurous cottage owners who want to have fun with their neighbors. ResortSubs are the hottest new toy for many of the worlds largest mega yacht owners. Many of these subs are painted to match the colors of the owner's yacht, private jets and other toys!
