U-Boat Worx, the world’s leading manufacturer of submersibles, unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Super Sub, at the Monaco Yacht Show. This groundbreaking submersible, the epitome of elegance and performance, represents a new era in marine technology and sets a new standard for underwater adventures
The Super Sub boasts an impressive 100 kW of thrust, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 10 knots. It can smoothly ascend and descend at inclines of up to 45 degrees while executing rapid banking turns, ensuring agile and swift underwater maneuverability.
One of U-Boat Worx’ primary design priorities has always been to provide the clearest view for experiencing the underwater world optimally. To achieve this, a remarkably clear fully acrylic pressure hull has been positioned at the front of the submersible, offering an unobstructed view in every direction, unimpeded by ballast tanks, batteries, and other components.
Like every other U-Boat Worx masterpiece, the DNV-certified Super Sub is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems. For example, the ‘maximum depth protection’ feature prevents the pilot from descending beyond the submarine’s maximum operating depth. If the submersible ever goes too deep, this safety feature will automatically raise the submersible until it is back within its certified depth.
The Safety Buoy is a distinctive feature of U-Boat Worx submersibles. When released, it marks the submarine’s position on the surface. A large drop weight can be manually released from within the vessel to increase buoyancy and assist in returning to the surface in case of an emergency. Additionally, each submarine, including the Super Sub, is equipped with a minimum of 96 hours of life support.
