<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">For keen 
divers, getting to spend as long under water as possible is the dream. 
But the reality is that perhaps half of a dive will be spent lugging on 
your equipment and getting to and from the dive spot, instead of 
exploring it.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">This
 could all change soon, however, as a new 'personal submarine' enters 
the market. The machine will take divers to the waters' depths faster 
than ever before, meaning that they can spend more time under the water 
exploring.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">And far from being just a concept idea, prototypes of the submersible has already been tested under the waters.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The Ortega Submersible was developed by a Dutch company based in the region of Twente, the Netherlands.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It's
 billed as the 'fastest, safest and most versatile submersible boat in 
the world' and can take divers down to depths of 310ft in seconds with 
the help of two electric motors. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Thanks
 to the powerful custom-built batteries, the vessel can reach dive 
points quicker so divers can spend more time under water. </span></div>

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">There
 is on-board breathing equipment, navigation and space to carry up to
