360 video from our trip to Fiji

Price increase
We held off as long as we could, but our production costs have increased significantly over the last two years and we now have to pass some of that on. As a result the price for Mantis Sub housing will increase from 1 August 2022 by 15%. We will honor all quotes sent out at the old price, as well as purchase orders received before 1 August 2022.
