Abstract
An amphibious vehicle with submersible capacity includes a first portion and a second portion, coupled by an extension, and a valve assembly. The first portion is capable of floating on water while the second portion is contemporaneously submerged beneath the surface and performing a variety of operations on the water's bottom. The valve assembly allows the vehicle to move between an amphibious mode and a submerged mode.
