The Ocean Pearl mini submarine is a robust, safe, and practical 2 person (1 pilot + 1 Passenger) personal submersible that offers an excellent field of view to the occupants. This mini personal submarine opens as a clamshell and allows for easy entry and exit. In surface mode, the patented flotation systems permit the private submarine to float high above the water line with a high freeboard when docked to a yacht. When submerged, the personal submersible is positively buoyant at all times and, should the thrusters stop, this mini personal submarine will gently rise back to the surface. Underwater, the private submersible remains horizontal at all times and does not roll or pitch. When the mini personal submersible is near the surface at the end of the dive, the flotation bladders are re-inflated such that the private submarine floats back on the water’s surface at which point it is docked back to the yacht.
LARGE ENTRY HATCH
The Ocean Pearl private submersible acrylic cabin is a clam shell design that fully opens in half for comfortable boarding and exit from the support luxury yacht. The mini personal submersible is launched from the yacht unmanned and floats high above the water line when on surface and is readily docked at the swim deck. The external joystick system allows the crew to drive the mini private submarine at surface without requiring the cabin to be opened until it is securely docked to the yacht or support tender. Once launched, the mini personal submarine can perform multiple dives in a day without the need of hoisting it back on deck of the ship.
