This is an exclusive way that would definetiley work as a good impression on a first date. You could consider buying yourself a little underwater present, to make things a bit more interesting.
One of the offers the exclusivist Hammacher Schlemmer retailer recently added on their website is the two-person submersible that can take you and your hot wife to a depth of 1,000 feat (304 meters). Just imagine yourself exploring and having access to underwater features such as coral reefs, shipwrecks and the sea floor.

You will be looking at all the wonders of the ocean trough a completely transparent, climate-controlled 3.25’’ (8.255 cm) - thick acrylic pressure sphere that keeps explorers safe. According to the source, the yellow submarine is able to go even into the mesopelagic zone offering a chance to see exotic, bioluminescent species such as lanternfish.

The submersible will take you in places few people ever go with a maximum speed of three knots (3,45 mph/5.55 kph), about enough time to take a good view of those big white sharks. The underwater vehicle is powered by a 120- and 24-volt battery bank that provide up to six hours of continuous undersea adventure.

The craft is controlled by the centrally located joystick, with an independent main and vertical/translational thruster controls that enables precise positioning near undersea attractions. You won’t have to worry you'll tumble on the ocean's floor because the vehicle’s dual-pontoon structure and broad freeboard ensure superior surface stability, even in high sea conditions.

Fully classified and certified as a +A1 passenger-carrying manned submersible by the American Bureau of Shipping, you can rest assure, a comprehensive training is included in the $2 million (EUR 1,47 million) it will cost you.
