Abstract:
A personal swim craft having an underwater viewing area comprising:a. a deck portion where upon a person lying prone is held in total body support, comfort, and ergonomic alignment replicating that which is experienced when a person floats prone in the water; b. a head support near the bow of said craft that rises above the horizontal plane of said craft's deck that comfortably supports the head of a user, placing eyes directly over said viewing area and aligns the users neck and spine in a natural, comfortable, and strain free manner; c. a freeboard or side portion of said craft, port and starboard, that slants downwardly and outwardly from said deck that allows the arms to be supported by said sides of said craft in a downwardly position removing stretch and strain from said-users chest and shoulders and allowing full range of motion when paddling; d. a walled cavity within said craft which is sealed with an upper and lower transparent pane at upper and lower openings of said cavity, forming a watertight void between said upper and lower transparent panes and filled with a transparent fluid; e. a vent for the filling of said void, completely with a transparent liquid eliminating all air bubbles, thus creating said underwater viewing area.
