It actually wasn't people powered. It was designed to be towed behind a boat. You could cover a lot of ground underwater in a short time. The front seat passenger was the driver. He could maneuver the front fins and move the sub up/down/left/right. There was also a quick release chord that would drop the tow line.
I only ever remember the thing being used a few times. It was a bit dangerous. It was too hard to get out of in an emergency.
