Incredibly, 97 percent of the sea-floor is completely unexplored. When you transit the world’s waters on the surface in your yacht, thousands of people have been there before you. However as soon as you vent the ballast tanks on your luxury sub and dive below the surface, it is quite likely that you will experience a part of the ocean that no one on Earth has seen before. And you are doing it in perfect air-conditioned comfort and safety, quite possibly with a flute of excellent Champagne in one hand.

Having a submersible aboard your yacht can make you a hero with family and friends. Imagine being able to provide this very unique op-tion of showing people the fabulous majesty of the undersea world. Letting them interact, up close and personally, with the myriad denizens of the deep. This is the finest type of adventure – safe, comfortable, fascinating and rare.

When you think of the hundreds of millions of dollars currently being spent to send people into low earth orbit, its remarkable that you, your family and your guests can directly experience the unexplored ocean that is, figuratively, right in our own back yard. And, you can do so with a form of transportation that is statistically, the safest in the world. Moreover you don’t even need a megayacht. Triton can provide you with a submarine and support vessel for less than $6 million.

But is a submersible right for you? There is not much information avail-able on yacht-based submersible ownership and operation, and as a result, there are many misconceptions. The purpose of this document is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about having a submersible on your vessel.

The reality is that while a quality submersible is a complex piece of equipment, it is simple to operate and inexpensive to maintain, espe-cially when compared with helicopters or other yacht-based amenities. There is no need to hire additional crew for your vessel as we can cross-train your existing crew members to pilot, operate and maintain your luxury submersible. We also provide 24/7 technical support and the highest levels of service in the industry. If you see yourself at the helm, Triton staff can teach you to be a pilot in a few short weeks. By the way, if you become a qualified deep submersible pilot, you will be one of about 400 world-wide. That is pretty exclusive company, equivalent to one in every 17.4 million people.

Do you charter your yacht and do you find the market competitive? One of the best things you can do to increase market differentiation and make your yacht competitively superior is to place a Triton deep sub-mersible aboard. You’ll be providing your charter guests an experience that very, very few others can offer.

How comfortable is it inside the submarine?

The inside of one of our luxury submarines is air conditioned and temperature controlled. Regardless of the operating depth of the submarine, the interior of the passenger cabin remains at sur-face pressure, which is 1 atmosphere. As a result, passengers do not experience any of the pressure induced physiological effects experienced by SCUBA divers (e.g. bends, nitrogen narcosis, etc). A guest aboard a submarine can stay comfortably submerged for as long as desired, and the submarine can dive or surface at any rate. It is really quite amazing how many people misunder-stand this important point and it is one of the key reasons that our submarines can be enjoyed by anyone from 5 to 95 years of age. In fact, any change in pressure is generally attributed to slight changes in temperature and are small enough to measured by a barometer (just a few milliabars of paressure).

passenger cabin in order to maintain a level of 21% oxygen by volume. The carbon dioxide respired during breathing is scrubbed out of the air by a special granular chemical contained in the main scrubbing system. The air is also dehumidified and heated or cooled as necessary. A Triton sub carries enough oxygen to re-main continually submerged for a minimum of 108 hours, which is typically a 12 hour mission time plus 96 hours of self-contained emergency life support.

What about crew training?

Triton will provide crew training for the owner and his selected crew. Ideally the crew participates in the last weeks of assembly and trials of the submarine so that they can get intimate, hands- on experience with the installation, operation and maintenance of critical systems. The crew will then have additional pilot and maintenance training during sea trials. We address this issue at greater length later in this document.

We can also provide experienced submarine pilots/maintenance technicians for owners.

Is a license required to operate the submarine?

A private owner does not need a license to operate the submarine for leisure purposes but our in-house training program must be sat-isfactorily completed by the operator in order to take delivery of the submersible and to obtain insurance. Triton will issue a certificate to all personnel who complete our company training program. How deep can the submarines dive?

Triton builds eleven different models that dive to either 1000 feet (305 meters), 3300 feet (1000 meters) or 5500 feet (1675 meters). The amount of time the sub can stay submerged during one dive (e.g. mission time) is typically 10-12 hours with optional longer durations. Triton is also developing the world’s deepest diving multi-passenger deep submersible, the only sub that will be active and repeatedly capable of diving below 7,500 meters: the Triton 36,000/3. It will take people to the deepest spot in the ocean, The Challenger Deep at 35,800 feet (10,912 m). In human history, only three people have been this deep. You can order a Triton 36,000/3 today and be-come one of the select few who possess the world’s deepest diving multi-passenger submersible.

How safe are Triton’s submersibles?

Last year approximately 1 million passengers took dives aboard the world’s civilian submarine fleet, predominantly in one of 40 tourist submarines. In the 27 year operating history of the industry there has never been a single serious injury or fatality to any passenger. The industry has a perfect safety record and, civil submarines are statistically the safest form of transportation in the world today. All Tritons are classed ✠A1 Manned Submersible by the Ameri-can Bureau of Shipping. Like FAA certification for aircraft, the ABS classification procedure is arduous, but results in unsurpassed safety. In fact, we tell our clients that by the time the paperwork weighs as much as the sub, the project is done (a bit of an exagger-ation, but you get the point).

Not only are all Tritons certified by ABS (and optionally by Cayman Island Shipping Registry) but they are aslo built by a group with over 350 years of collective experience on 80 subs – easily making us the most experienced and qualified civil sub builders and operators in the world today. In fact, that’s 10 times the experience of any one of our competitors.

How does the air stay fresh inside the sub?

The submarine has a sophisticated central air conditioning and life support system. Basically oxygen stored in high-pressure bot-tles outside the pressure hull is injected at low pressure into the

What is the difference between a submarine and submersible? We use the terms interchangeably to refer to any non-tethered, free-swimming manned undersea vehicle, but there are some dif-ferences. A submarine is a military or civilian vessel, generally cigar-shaped, capable of traversing long distances underwa-ter at significant speeds. Submarines are capable of regen-erating their own power and can stay submerged for days at a time. A submersible is typically a battery-powered undersea vehicle capable of carrying small crews short distances under-water, primarily for observation. They have a finite amount of energy available from storage batteries, which limits both range and endurance. Submersibles are however, typically capable of diving much deeper than military or civilian submarines. How difficult is it to integrate a sub on a yacht?

Tritons have relatively small deck footprints as they range in length from 10.5 feet (3.2 m) to 13.5 feet (4.4 m). It is generally not difficult to find space aboard. However the subs are heavy for their size as they must weigh as much as the water they displace to be neutrally buoyant when submerged so the lifting gear must be robust enough to launch and retrieve the sub.

Support equipment includes battery chargers, an air compressor and oxygen storage bottles as well as containers of scrubbing compound. However, these items are not large and are easily inte-grated into mechanical spaces with on-deck connections adjacent to the submarine’s storage location.

How many crew members are necessary to operate a Triton? One existing yacht crew member can be trained to both pilot and maintain the sub. However it is prudent to train at least two crew members so someone is always available in the event of crew turnover or vacation. Oftentimes we train an owner to pilot the sub and one or two crew members to pilot and maintain the sub or to just maintain the sub. Our entire comprehensive training program, including access to the world’s only deep submersible simulator, is offered free of charge to Triton customers.

Do I need a megayacht to own and operate a Triton?

Absolutely not. If your base of operations is relatively close to where you want to dive and the weather and sea conditions are generally good, you could tow your Triton out to your dive site at a relatively low speed. We also offer a line of support vessels, starting at approximately $3 million, that are specially designed to transport, launch and recover Tritons. The smallest of these is a highly efficient 65-foot (20 m) wave-piercing catamaran that can dynamically launch and recover a Triton in relatively heavy seas. More information is available in the Support Vessel section. In addition, U.S. Submarines builds a line of diesel electric subma-rines designed for surface transit out to dive sites. The minimum surface range is approximately 400 nm while the large luxury subs have trans-Atlantic range.

Triton Models

1000/3 1000/3LP 1000/4 1000/8 1000/1HS 1000/2 3300/2 3300/3 3300/4 3300/6 a. Reef Diving – The most magnificent dive spots on the planet

tend to be coral reefs. Most display absolutely stunning diversity of marine life immersed in crystal clear waters. It is a tragedy that SCUBA divers are so depth limited, because it is once you go beyond 100 meters that things get really interesting. SCUBA divers are fond of saying there is nothing on a deep reef to see. That’s because they’ve never been there. With a Triton you’ll have a unique opportunity to see huge barrel sponges, photo-luminescent creatures of all types, rare invertebrates, unique deep water fish and massive sixgill sharks.

b. Attracting Unusual Species – In late Summer 2012 a Triton 3300/3 was used to attract and film the giant squid. This unprecedented event marks the first time in human his-tory that man has set eyes on the giant squid underwater. The Triton was able to film this encounter for 18 minutes as the squid descended from 2,000 feet to over 2,700 feet.

c. Shark Diving – Triton’s pilots have been on tens of thousands of dives and, without fail, the passenger rating of a dive is always a 10+ when sharks are present. With a Triton you can encounter rare deep water sharks, like the massive sixgill, Goblin and Megamouth sharks like those filmed in Japan using a Triton 3300/3.

d. Wreck Diving – Dive on known wrecks or be the first to see the final resting place of vessels that lie beyond the reach of SCUBA divers. Go a step further and use your Triton as the basis of a salvage program. In 2013 a Triton was used on a treasure salvage operation in Alaska.

e. Ice Diving – Recently Triton Submarine Charters provid-ed two submarines for the first ever dives in Antactica. With appropriate precautions, Tritons are well suited for diving in very cold waters. The fact Triton was the first ever company to dive submersibles on the continent of Antarctica is an excellent example of just how much of our ocean remains to be explored. f. Hydrothermal Vents – Underwater geysers that constantly

spew hot, mineral rich water into the ocean creating an amazing underwater eruption. Vents are typically very deep, spectacular to observe, and often teaming with a fascinating 1. Number of passengers: Tritons are now available in 1-, 2-, 3-,

4-, 6- or 8-passenger configurations. In many cases, this will be decided by the lifting capacity and/or available deck space on your vessel (see #2). If weight is is not an issue, consider whether or not you yourself intend to pilot your sub. If so, you will be able to share the experience with another person in one of our 2-passenger models. They are our smallest and lightest subs. If you would prefer to have your crew pilot the sub (or at least to have that option) while still being able to dive with your guests, a 3-passenger (pilot plus two guests) model or one of our larger 4-, 6- or 8-passenger subs may be just the ticket. 2. Launch and Recovery Requirements: There is a significant

difference in the weight of a 3-passenger versus a 2-passenger submersible. Many vessels are equipped to lift tenders, toys and equipment up to about 7,000 pounds, which is enough to launch and recover a Triton 1000/2, but would require signifi-cant alteration in order to safely launch and recover the 8-ton load of a Triton 3300/3. The larger subs are, of course, heavier. We can help you determine what the current launch and recov-ery capabilities of your vessel are while also providing details on what might be necessary to enhance your system to accommo-date a larger sub.

3. Mission Profile: There are so many amazing things to see in the ocean that it may be hard to prioritize everything you want to do. The good news is, with a Triton submersible you are guar-anteed to be able to see things that no human has ever seen before; on almost every dive! Here are some unique dive expe-riences sure to amaze and inspire you and your guests:

array of life. Some believe these vents are the secret to under-standing how life evolved and developed on Earth. At a minimum, they are clear proof that not all life on Earth is photosynthesis based and there are animals that live and indeed thrive on the chemicals found on these unique and fascinating underwater features.

g. Seamounts – Underwater mountains rising thousands of feet from the sea floor. Scientists estimate that there are over 100,000 unexplored seamounts in the ocean. The few studied have had stunning bio-diversity with up to 50 percent of the species being completely unique to each location.

These are just a few of the amazing adventures that await you in the deep ocean. Spending a little time thinking about your “wish list” of dive sites will help you make a better decision about the depth rating of your submersible.

The exploring couples dream machine, the Triton 3300/3 has a small deck footprint, is easy to launch and recover but has the versatility that a 3300 foot sub can provide. This is a sub that has the depth capability to do it. Track the giant squid, visit deep wrecks, explore amazing sea mounts and visit subterranean vents. An undiscovered world awaits.

The Triton 5500/2 is a special sub indeed. To produce this submersible a completely new transparent hull construction tech-nique needed to be developed by our acrylic technology partners. The Triton 5500/2’s transparent hull is the thickest ever made yet is optically perfect, resulting in the world’s deepest diving sub with a transparent acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate) hull. In this Triton, you can dive more than a mile deep in the same comfort and safety that has made Triton Submarines the most successful sub manufacturer on the planet.

1000/3 LP

The ideal submersible for small tender garages

At only 5.6 feet tall (1700 mm) with a modest crane weight of 7,650 pounds (3475 kg) the Triton 1000/3 LP is the world’s lightest and most compact three passenger production submersible. The 1000/3 LP will take a pilot and two passengers to 1000 feet (305 m) in total comfort. Form and function unite seamlessly to provide you with a submersible option that will have you diving deep without having to “dig deep” into your pocket to refit your yacht.

Two main thrusters and two vertrans thrusters enable movement in any direction via joystick controls.

21” aft-facing hatch allows easy entry when boarding from yacht or from surface tender.

The 1000/3 LP can take 3-passengers to 1000 ft.

The main ballast tanks provide superior freeboard and stability, making boarding while on the surface safer and easier.

In late Summer 2012 in the deep trenches off the coast of Japan an international team of scientists and technicians was assembled for an attempt to locate the elusive giant squid in its natural environ-ment. The team consisted of Dr. Kubodera from Japan, a well known expert on the giant squid, along with Dr. Steve O’Shea and American bioluminescent expert, Dr. Edie Whidder. The deep submersible cho-sen for this history-making effort was the Triton 3300/3 due to its extraordinary capability and 360° visibility.

The expedition was a stunning success.

Not only did Triton provide the platform for man’s first under-water encounter with the giant squid, but 18 minutes of video captured the creature from 2,000 feet down to 2,700 feet. At right, top to bottom: Steve O’Shea using the Triton 3300/3 equipped with a custom “pheromone gun” to lure the squid. Dr. O’Shea and Dr. Kubodera witnessing the initial encounter aboard the 3300/3. Dr. Edie Whidder preparing to descend into the squid’s lair. And finally, the surreal up-close images of the infamous giant squid through the 3300/3 spherical window.

Only one team in the world has the depth of knowledge required to reach full ocean depth in a transparent hull.

The deep ocean is no place for compromise and no other group in the

world today could design an extreme depth multi-passenger submersible like the Triton 36000/3. At the bottom of the ocean in the Challenger Deep the pressure is 16,000 pounds per square inch.

The passenger compartment is under an enormous 170,000 tons of hydrostatic force from the weight of nearly seven miles of ocean depth. Yet the properties of the high-pressure glass actually allow it to get stronger under compressive load when no metallic interface exists. For the first time in history an extreme depth submersible has a completely transparent passenger compartment that allows uninterrupted viewing. In comparison, the handful of subs that dive to 25,000 feet or less have massive steel or titanium passenger compartments and cost five times more than our 36000/3 for about two-thirds the depth capability.

The world’s deepest diving multi-passenger submersible

An opportunity exists to reach the deepest spot in the ocean, the 35,800 ft Challenger Deep, forever changing mankind’s relationship with the ocean.

Since the beginning of time, an incredible wealth of knowledge has been locked away within the abyss. For the first time in history, man will be able to repeatedly explore the depths of our oceans. What secrets will be uncovered seven miles below the surface? Be a part of making history by conquering earth’s final frontier with the Triton 36000/3. And pay for your Triton 36000/3 by providing adventure dives to the bottom of the ocean for $250,000 per seat.
