1. A submersible assembly comprising: (a) a support submersible comprising a pair of flotation devices; and (b) a cabin pivotally coupled to the support structure between the pair of flotation devices and comprising an outer enclosure encapsulating an inner cabin, wherein the cabin is configured to rotate between a raised position above a surface of a body of water and a submerged position, wherein at least a portion of the cabin is below the surface of the body of water, and wherein the pair of flotation devices are configured to maintain an appropriate displacement with respect to the surface of the body of water and the inner cabin is configured to maintain substantially the same attitude as the support structure when the cabin rotates between the raised position and the submerged position, wherein the pair of flotation devices comprise chambers designed to provide additional buoyancy when the cabin is in the submerged position.
