Triton submarines, Florida-based manufacturer is known worldwide for its deep-sea exploration submersibles. In 2019, Triton-built Limiting Factor submersible made a record-breaking dive to the deepest point in the Mariana Trench at 10,927m. Now, the company has come up with their latest toy designed to offer deep-sea views to the tourists. Called the Triton DeepView 24, this tourist submarine can take 24 passengers to depths of up to 100meters (328feet).
This cool sub comes with massive 5.5-inch thick acrylic windows that offer panoramic views of the marine life. The 15.4 meter (50.5ft) long air-conditioned interior makes sure that passengers have a comfortable experience. According to Triton, DeepView 24 is the most significant commercial tourism submersible to be brought to market in the past two decades. Also, it comes with a modular design that allows them to add sections. Thus, it can be improvised to accommodate 12 to 66 passengers depending on the requirement.
