Revolutionary Bubble Submarines Dive 3,280 Feet Below the Sea
Fans of the deep can now travel in a smart new submarine
Unveiling a new era in underwater exploration, Seamagine, a leading submersible manufacturer, has introduced the Aurora 90 and Aurora 100, revolutionizing how passengers experience the ocean's depths. These cutting-edge submersibles are engineered to plunge to astonishing depths, ranging from 328 to an unparalleled 3,280 feet, offering passengers an extraordinary glimpse into the mysteries of the deep sea.
The Aurora 90 is designed to comfortably accommodate up to five passengers, while the Aurora 100 boasts an even larger capacity, welcoming seven adventurers. Both models feature expansive acrylic windows that provide panoramic vistas and nearly 360-degree visibility, immersing passengers in an awe-inspiring oceanic bubble of wonder. With six potent thrusters propelling them in every direction at speeds of up to three knots, the Aurora submarines pave the way for thrilling coral reef expeditions and the exploration of ancient shipwrecks.
The Aurora 90 and Aurora 100 weigh in at nine and 12 tons, respectively, and are equipped with pressure-balanced lithium-ion batteries, providing up to 14 hours of autonomy. Remarkably, these batteries recharge in just two hours, ensuring a quick turnaround for subsequent dives. Built with sturdy metal hulls, these subs are versatile and equally suited for scientific endeavors and adventurous joy rides.
Customizability is an important piece of Seamagine's design philosophy. Both the Aurora 90 and Aurora 100 offer a wide array of equipment options, from cameras and sonars to robotic arms and imaging tools. The rear hull section provides extra room for research gear, enhancing the submarines' utility for scientific missions. The top deck, crafted from synthetic teak and featuring retractable handrails, ensures easy and swift boarding.
Inside the submarines, passengers are treated to a luxurious experience with plush extras such as sofas and coffee tables. The front section is dedicated to passengers, providing a comfortable and immersive environment, while the rear serves as the pilot's command center. Seamagine prioritizes safety with independent manual controls to minimize systemic failures and double monitoring systems to ensure guest safety during every dive.
For added peace of mind, Seamagine boasts an impressive track record of 12,000 dives, and their Aurora submersibles have earned certifications from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), attesting to their commitment to quality and safety. The ocean's depths remain largely unexplored, but the Aurora 90 and Aurora 100 provide an opportunity to unlock new frontiers, inviting enthusiasts and researchers alike to embark on a journey of discovery in these smart and state-of-the-art submarines.
