Operating depth is 100 metres and all the safety systems are certified by Lloyds Registe. Super Falcon 3S is positively buoyant, which allow the submarine to automatically float back to the surface. The cockpit is a pressure hull that has been proof-tested to keep humans safe from the external pressure of the ocean. Communication lines are always open between the sub and surface/shore, and between the pilot and passengers.
Project Neptune
Project Neptune is the result of collaboration between submarine specialist Triton and luxury car brand Aston Martin. This submarine can to dive to depths of 500 metres and carry two passengers and a pilot.

Project Neptune’s interior was a great challenge. Unlike a sports car where the interiors are installed into an open-sided cabin before the doors are fitted, everything you see inside will be lowered through the upper-hatch and assembled within the completed sphere of the pressure hull. The interior is quintessentially Aston Martin – a luxurious mix of hand-stitched leather and high-performance carbon fibre, assembled without obstructing the panoramic sight-lines that Triton submersibles are famous for.
Super Yacht Sub 3 / U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub
Compact and luxurious private submarines especially designed to fit aboard superyachts. The Super Yacht Sub 3 – 500LX offers a larger depth-rating up to 300 metres and wider interior space with minimal increase in the size and weight of the submersible itself.
