A water submersible vehicle, the vehicle has a variable buoyancy system where flight of the submersible is controlled by a forward thruster forward of the center of displacement and that regulates both pitch and up-and-down hover. The vehicle in combination with a control system allows the user using to use only two control elements, one with each hand, to fly the vehicle by controlling motion along long axis, yaw, pitch and roll. An ergonomic submersible pod may be incorporated into the water submersible vehicle. The ergonomic submersible pod may also be used with other flight systems to provide for new types of low cost underwater travel.
