U-Boat Worx Company from Holland entered the private submarine market 15 years ago with the introduction of the series of apparatuses C-Researcher and Super Yacht Sub. The latest development of U-Boat engineers is a two-seater submarine, Nemo, the most compact and lightest submarine in the world. You can deliver Nemo to the shore using an ordinary car trailer, and then a small yacht or boat can tow it to the dive site.
The mass of the submarine is only 2.5 tons, and the height is 155 cm. The total dimensions of Nemo do not exceed the space occupied by two standard jet skis. The speed of the apparatus under water reaches 5.5 km/h, and the batteries are designed for an 8-hour journey. The maximum diving depth does not exceed 100 meters. A passenger and a pilot of the boat get inside through the top hatch.
Submarine Nemo is navigated by a certified pilot. In addition, a passenger can participate in the navigation using a special Manta controller, in which there is an autopilot function that allows you to automatically maintain the course and the selected depth. There is also a remote navigation of Nemo on the surface, using the Marlin controller.
There is a wireless communication system and a conditioner inside the submarine Nemo, and you can light up the surrounding area with a powerful spotlight. Additionally, the submarine can be equipped with a sonar, an external manipulator, navigation equipment and an additional lighting device. The price of Nemo will be about $1.5 million, and production will begin after the formation of a package of orders.
U-Boat Worx Company also offers 12-day training at Sub Center Curacao.
