And what if you’ve already done all that?
Private jets (well, fractional ownership) gets boring after a few years.

Or you can stay here on earth, go scuba diving and experience the exact same weightlessness... :)

It's not the same - that's buoyancy, not weightlessness. Gravity still exerts force on your body and internal organs, and you feel orientation, i.e. up and down. It's a very different feeling.
That's why I was asking!
What would the difference in sensation be for one who is submerged on earth, versus one who is encapsulated in a floating sphere of water...
There’s no buoyancy without weight so it wouldn’t feel like anything until you moved. Then you’d have the same drag forces you would on Earth. It’s unlikely the sphere would stay together very long with nothing to hold it together.
SCUBAG
Is what we need to invent then...

>go golfing
lol you would have to pay me to go golfing
10k in space will get you what?

Random thought:
If they were able to get enough water into space such that one could swim through a sphere of water in a weightless environment, what would the sensation of being encapsulated in water while weightless feel like (clearly needing scuba or some other air connection..)
