Triton Submarines, a Florida-based luxury submersible company has not only conquered the deepest recess of the ocean with its “deep-sea elevator,” but also delivered its first 24-seat DeepView tourist submarine in Vietnam.
Now the company has released its new six-seater sub designed to launch from the garage of a mega-yacht.
The company has named this six-person submarine the 3300/6. This is because of the fact that it is capable of descending to 1,000 meters (or about 3,300 feet). It is the world’s highest capacity recreational submersible capable of reaching that depth.
Triton Submarines explained, “As the world’s largest capacity acrylic-hulled personal submersible with a certified depth rating to 1,000m (3,300ft), the delivery incorporates numerous significant milestone ‘firsts’, further lengthening Triton’s existing list of pioneering achievements,”
