Most likely you were forced to read Jules Verne’s classic, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and if you did, you possibly fantasized yourself leading an expedition to the uncharted territories of the deep blue sea. A vast abyss of wonder, there’s so much to discover in the waters below, yet an influx of licensing and certifications won’t even allow to make that possible, until now.

The team over at Deepflight strive to create vehicles for exploration that do not deter the common man with logistics and intense training. They have applied the principles and dynamics of aviation to their submarine navigation systems and are redesigning the submergence experience. They have engineered their fleet to be user friendly and optimally safe gearing these personal submarines to be great accessories on superyachts, resorts, and tour operators.

The Dragon is their latest model and raises the bar against predecessors with its ability to hover and “fly” underwater, using the same aerodynamic principles of lift and drag. The Dragon ensures inherent safety with its fixed buoyancy allowing it to always float to the top. The DeepFlight Dive Manager is a system of controls that allows you to take charge with minimum experience, boasting a fairly simple pilotage. The personal submarine is about 16 feet long and weighs about 4,000 pounds, enabling it to fit on more yachts and large vessels that any other submarine. The underwater lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack fuels its high efficiency, with minimal sound to not scare off marine life, with the 40V system voltage granting a safe operation amongst other people or animals swimming in close proximity.

With the purchase of any Deepflight model a 7-day integration and training course is provided, integrating crucial subjects like piloting, equipment maintenance, launch and recovery. Currently there is no government-mandated license for private operation of a DeepFlight submarine.
