Incredibly, 97 percent of the sea-floor is completely unexplored. When

you transit the worlds waters on the surface in your yacht, thousands
of people have been there before you. However as soon as you vent
the ballast tanks on your luxury sub and dive below the surface, it is
quite likely that you will experience a part of the ocean that no one on
Earth has seen before. And you are doing it in perfect air-conditioned
comfort and safety, quite possibly with a flute of excellent Champagne
in one hand.
But is a submersible right for you? There is not much information available on yacht-based submersible ownership and operation, and as a
result, there are many misconceptions. The purpose of this document
is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed
decision about having a submersible on your vessel.
Having a submersible aboard your yacht can make you a hero with
family and friends. Imagine being able to provide this very unique option of showing people the fabulous majesty of the undersea world.
Letting them interact, up close and personally, with the myriad denizens
of the deep. This is the finest type of adventure safe, comfortable,
fascinating and rare.
There is no need to hire additional crew for your vessel as we can

cross-train your existing crew members to pilot, operate and maintain
your luxury submersible. We also provide 24/7 technical support and
the highest levels of service in the industry. If you see yourself at the
helm, Triton staff can teach you to be a pilot in a few short weeks.
When you think of the hundreds of millions of dollars currently being

spent to send people into low earth orbit, its remarkable that you, your
family and your guests can directly experience the unexplored ocean
that is, figuratively, right in our own back yard. And, you can do so with
a form of transportation that is statistically, the safest in the world.
Moreover you dont even need a megayacht. Triton can provide you
with a submarine and support vessel for less than $6 million.
The reality is that while a quality submersible is a complex piece of

equipment, it is simple to operate and inexpensive to maintain, especially when compared with helicopters or other yacht-based amenities.
By the way, if you become a qualified deep submersible pilot, you will
be one of about 400 world-wide. That is pretty exclusive company,
equivalent to one in every 17.4 million people.
Do you charter your yacht and do you find the market competitive? One
of the best things you can do to increase market differentiation and
make your yacht competitively superior is to place a Triton deep submersible aboard. Youll be providing your charter guests an experience
that very, very few others can offer.

How safe are Tritons submersibles?
How comfortable is it inside the submarine?
Last year approximately 1 million passengers took dives aboard the

worlds civilian submarine fleet, predominantly in one of 40 tourist
submarines. In the 27 year operating history of the industry there
has never been a single serious injury or fatality to any passenger.
The industry has a perfect safety record and, civil submarines are
statistically the safest form of transportation in the world today.
All Tritons are classed A1 Manned Submersible by the American Bureau of Shipping. Like FAA certification for aircraft, the ABS
classification procedure is arduous, but results in unsurpassed
safety. In fact, we tell our clients that by the time the paperwork
weighs as much as the sub, the project is done (a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point).
Not only are all Tritons certified by ABS (and optionally by Cayman
Island Shipping Registry) but they are aslo built by a group with over
350 years of collective experience on 80 subs easily making us
the most experienced and qualified civil sub builders and operators
in the world today. In fact, thats 10 times the experience of any one
of our competitors.
The inside of one of our luxury submarines is air conditioned and

temperature controlled. Regardless of the operating depth of the
submarine, the interior of the passenger cabin remains at surface pressure, which is 1 atmosphere. As a result, passengers do
not experience any of the pressure induced physiological effects
experienced by SCUBA divers (e.g. bends, nitrogen narcosis, etc).
A guest aboard a submarine can stay comfortably submerged
for as long as desired, and the submarine can dive or surface at
any rate. It is really quite amazing how many people misunderstand this important point and it is one of the key reasons that our
submarines can be enjoyed by anyone from 5 to 95 years of age.
In fact, any change in pressure is generally attributed to slight
changes in temperature and are small enough to measured by a
barometer (just a few milliabars of paressure).
Is a license required to operate the submarine?

passenger cabin in order to maintain a level of 21% oxygen by
volume. The carbon dioxide respired during breathing is scrubbed
out of the air by a special granular chemical contained in the main
scrubbing system. The air is also dehumidified and heated or
cooled as necessary. A Triton sub carries enough oxygen to remain continually submerged for a minimum of 108 hours, which
is typically a 12 hour mission time plus 96 hours of self-contained
emergency life support.
The submarine has a sophisticated central air conditioning and

life support system. Basically oxygen stored in high-pressure bottles outside the pressure hull is injected at low pressure into the
Triton will provide crew training for the owner and his selected
crew. Ideally the crew participates in the last weeks of assembly
and trials of the submarine so that they can get intimate, handson experience with the installation, operation and maintenance
of critical systems. The crew will then have additional pilot and
maintenance training during sea trials. We address this issue at
greater length later in this document.
We can also provide experienced submarine pilots/maintenance
technicians for owners.
A private owner does not need a license to operate the submarine

for leisure purposes but our in-house training program must be satisfactorily completed by the operator in order to take delivery of the
submersible and to obtain insurance. Triton will issue a certificate to
all personnel who complete our company training program.
How deep can the submarines dive?

Triton builds eleven different models that dive to either 1000 feet
(305 meters), 3300 feet (1000 meters) or 5500 feet (1675 meters).
The amount of time the sub can stay submerged during one dive (e.g.
mission time) is typically 10-12 hours with optional longer durations.
Triton is also developing the worlds deepest diving multi-passenger

deep submersible, the only sub that will be active and repeatedly
capable of diving below 7,500 meters: the Triton 36,000/3. It will
take people to the deepest spot in the ocean, The Challenger Deep
at 35,800 feet (10,912 m). In human history, only three people have
been this deep. You can order a Triton 36,000/3 today and become one of the select few who possess the worlds deepest diving
multi-passenger submersible.
What about crew training?

How does the air stay fresh inside the sub?

What is the difference between a submarine and submersible?
How many crew members are necessary to operate a Triton?
We use the terms interchangeably to refer to any non-tethered,

free-swimming manned undersea vehicle, but there are some differences. A submarine is a military or civilian vessel, generally
cigar-shaped, capable of traversing long distances underwater at significant speeds. Submarines are capable of regenerating their own power and can stay submerged for days at a
time. A submersible is typically a battery-powered undersea
vehicle capable of carrying small crews short distances underwater, primarily for observation. They have a finite amount of
energy available from storage batteries, which limits both range
and endurance. Submersibles are however, typically capable of
diving much deeper than military or civilian submarines.
Do I need a megayacht to own and operate a Triton?

Absolutely not. If your base of operations is relatively close to

where you want to dive and the weather and sea conditions are
generally good, you could tow your Triton out to your dive site at
a relatively low speed. We also offer a line of support vessels,
starting at approximately $3 million, that are specially designed
to transport, launch and recover Tritons. The smallest of these is a
highly efficient 65-foot (20 m) wave-piercing catamaran that can
dynamically launch and recover a Triton in relatively heavy seas.
More information is available in the Support Vessel section.
In addition, U.S. Submarines builds a line of diesel electric submarines designed for surface transit out to dive sites. The minimum
surface range is approximately 400 nm while the large luxury
subs have trans-Atlantic range.
How difficult is it to integrate a sub on a yacht?
Tritons have relatively small deck footprints as they range in length

from 10.5 feet (3.2 m) to 13.5 feet (4.4 m). It is generally not
difficult to find space aboard. However the subs are heavy for their
size as they must weigh as much as the water they displace to
be neutrally buoyant when submerged so the lifting gear must be
robust enough to launch and retrieve the sub.
Support equipment includes battery chargers, an air compressor

and oxygen storage bottles as well as containers of scrubbing
compound. However, these items are not large and are easily integrated into mechanical spaces with on-deck connections adjacent
to the submarines storage location.
One existing yacht crew member can be trained to both pilot and
maintain the sub. However it is prudent to train at least two crew
members so someone is always available in the event of crew
turnover or vacation. Oftentimes we train an owner to pilot the sub
and one or two crew members to pilot and maintain the sub or to
just maintain the sub. Our entire comprehensive training program,
including access to the worlds only deep submersible simulator,
is offered free of charge to Triton customers.

Number of passengers: Tritons are now available in 1-, 2-, 3-,

4-, 6- or 8-passenger configurations. In many cases, this will be
decided by the lifting capacity and/or available deck space
on your vessel (see #2). If weight is is not an issue, consider
whether or not you yourself intend to pilot your sub. If so, you
will be able to share the experience with another person in one
of our 2-passenger models. They are our smallest and lightest
subs. If you would prefer to have your crew pilot the sub (or at
least to have that option) while still being able to dive with your
guests, a 3-passenger (pilot plus two guests) model or one of
our larger 4-, 6- or 8-passenger subs may be just the ticket.
Launch and Recovery Requirements: There is a significant
difference in the weight of a 3-passenger versus a 2-passenger
submersible. Many vessels are equipped to lift tenders, toys
and equipment up to about 7,000 pounds, which is enough to
launch and recover a Triton 1000/2, but would require significant alteration in order to safely launch and recover the 8-ton
load of a Triton 3300/3. The larger subs are, of course, heavier.
We can help you determine what the current launch and recovery capabilities of your vessel are while also providing details on
what might be necessary to enhance your system to accommodate a larger sub.

Mission Profile: There are so many amazing things to see in

the ocean that it may be hard to prioritize everything you want
to do. The good news is, with a Triton submersible you are guaranteed to be able to see things that no human has ever seen
before; on almost every dive! Here are some unique dive experiences sure to amaze and inspire you and your guests:
c. Shark Diving Tritons pilots have been on tens of thousands

of dives and, without fail, the passenger rating of a dive is
always a 10+ when sharks are present. With a Triton you can
encounter rare deep water sharks, like the massive sixgill,
Goblin and Megamouth sharks like those filmed in Japan using
a Triton 3300/3.
array of life. Some believe these vents are the secret to understanding how life evolved and developed on Earth. At a minimum,
they are clear proof that not all life on Earth is photosynthesis
based and there are animals that live and indeed thrive on the
chemicals found on these unique and fascinating underwater
features.
a. Reef Diving The most magnificent dive spots on the planet

tend to be coral reefs. Most display absolutely stunning diversity
of marine life immersed in crystal clear waters. It is a tragedy
that SCUBA divers are so depth limited, because it is once you
go beyond 100 meters that things get really interesting. SCUBA
divers are fond of saying there is nothing on a deep reef to see.
Thats because theyve never been there. With a Triton youll
have a unique opportunity to see huge barrel sponges, photoluminescent creatures of all types, rare invertebrates, unique
deep water fish and massive sixgill sharks.
d. Wreck Diving Dive on known wrecks or be the first to see

the final resting place of vessels that lie beyond the reach of
SCUBA divers. Go a step further and use your Triton as the basis
of a salvage program. In 2013 a Triton was used on a treasure
salvage operation in Alaska.
g. Seamounts Underwater mountains rising thousands of feet

from the sea floor. Scientists estimate that there are over 100,000
unexplored seamounts in the ocean. The few studied have had
stunning bio-diversity with up to 50 percent of the species being
completely unique to each location.
e. Ice Diving Recently Triton Submarine Charters provided two submarines for the first ever dives in Antactica. With
appropriate precautions, Tritons are well suited for diving in very
cold waters. The fact Triton was the first ever company to dive
submersibles on the continent of Antarctica is an excellent
example of just how much of our ocean remains to be explored.
These are just a few of the amazing adventures that await you in the
deep ocean. Spending a little time thinking about your wish list of
dive sites will help you make a better decision about the depth rating
of your submersible.
b. Attracting Unusual Species In late Summer 2012 a

Triton 3300/3 was used to attract and film the giant squid.
This unprecedented event marks the first time in human history that man has set eyes on the giant squid underwater.
The Triton was able to film this encounter for 18 minutes
as the squid descended from 2,000 feet to over 2,700 feet.
f. Hydrothermal Vents Underwater geysers that constantly

spew hot, mineral rich water into the ocean creating an
amazing underwater eruption. Vents are typically very deep,
spectacular to observe, and often teaming with a fascinating

The worlds deepest diving multi-passenger submersible

The deep ocean is no place for compromise and no other group in the
world today could design an extreme depth multi-passenger submersible
like the Triton 36000/3. At the bottom of the ocean in the Challenger
Deep the pressure is 16,000 pounds per square inch.
The passenger compartment is under an enormous 170,000 tons of
hydrostatic force from the weight of nearly seven miles of ocean depth.
Yet the properties of the high-pressure glass actually allow it to get
stronger under compressive load when no metallic interface exists. For
the first time in history an extreme depth submersible has a completely
transparent passenger compartment that allows uninterrupted viewing.
In comparison, the handful of subs that dive to 25,000 feet or less have
massive steel or titanium passenger compartments and cost five times
more than our 36000/3 for about two-thirds the depth capability.
23
Only one team in the world has the depth of knowledge required to reach full ocean depth in a transparent hull.
An opportunity exists to reach

the deepest spot in the ocean, the
35,800 ft Challenger Deep, forever
changing mankinds relationship
with the ocean.
Since the beginning of time, an
incredible wealth of knowledge has
been locked away within the abyss.
For the first time in history, man
will be able to repeatedly explore
the depths of our oceans.
What secrets will be uncovered
seven miles below the surface? Be a
part of making history by conquering
earths final frontier with the Triton
36000/3. And pay for your Triton
36000/3 by providing adventure
dives to the bottom of the ocean
for $250,000 per seat.

There are a myriad of options available to enhance the capabilities

and performance of your submersible. Every Triton model is delivered
with a robust package of standard features but most buyers elect to
add options based on their individual preferences. We will discuss two
types of optional equipment: The standard and most common pieces
of equipment that we recommend for most clients, and specialized
instrumentation and equipment used principally for scientific investigation and commercial work.
Recommended
While the following equipment is considered optional we have found
that these particular instruments have repeatedly demonstrated their
value regardless of the mission profile. From operating in crystal clear
waters of the tropics to zero visibility in Alaska, to the darkest depths
found mid-ocean to the icy cold Antarctic Peninsula, this equipment
is exactly what any serious submersible team would need to provide
a safe and enjoyable experience for both the submersible operators,
guests and the surface control group. As part of the process of recommending specific models and manufacturers of optional equipment
for a Triton submersible, we use the following criteria:
1. Features
2. Specifications
3. Price
4. Reputation
5. Experience
When researching the optional equipment for a Triton submersible,

the first thing we do is to compare the features and specifications
of comparable products from a variety of manufacturers. Then we
compare the price of the various offerings and weigh this against the
company reputation in the industry. Finally, our personal experience
with these products, when applicable, is taken into consideration.
These are the primary criteria that need to be met in any safe and
productive diving environment:
Dive Site Evaluation Plan your dive and dive your plan. Its critical to
know the depth of the sea floor in your immediate operating area and
to clearly understand exactly where you will be operating.
Communication Sub to sub (if applicable), sub to surface. Clear and
consistent communication is imperative for safety.
Location Sub to bottom, sub to target, sub to surface control. All of
these spatial coordinates need to be known as accurately as possible.
With these criteria in mind, the navigation package on a Triton Submersible has been designed to be accurate, reliable and easy to use in
the most demanding conditions encountered.
The Optional Items in the Navigation Package include:

1. Sonar 2. USBL (Ultra Short Base Line Tracking System)
3. Full Spectrum Chirp Technology Sounder/GPS (standard on some
models) 4. DVL (Doppler Velocity Log)
SONAR is an acronym for Sound, Navigation and Ranging. Sonar is
used to detect and identify sea floor objects. Sonar systems have made
incredible advances during the last decade and we are fortunate to
have a wide selection of highly capable systems available.
The basic unit we recommend is a forward-looking high-resolution,
130-degree, ethernet equipped unit. These sonars are used worldwide
and provide excellent target resolution in virtually all conditions.
USBL (Ultra Short Base Line) tracking systems use two-way acoustic communication to calculate the relative position of a surface vessel-mounted transceiver to an underwater vehicle-mounted beacon.
The ability to track a submersible underwater, while not required by

ABS, the USCG nor the CISR Registry, is without question a desirable
and important safety feature for any deep diving manned submersible.
USBL tracking systems calculate the relative position of a subsea object to the surface vessel transceiver by interfacing acoustic range and
bearing data to attitude (motion), heading and GPS sensors. Since the
accuracy of the position information being obtained by a USBL system
is based on knowing the exact relative position of the surface vessel
transceiver to the beacon on the object being tracked underwater at
the time acoustic signals are being transmitted and received, the quality of the motion and heading sensors used on the surface vessel is
critically important.
With GPS interfaced into the surface computer, the exact position
(latitude and longitude) and depth of the submersible is continuously
updated. If the optional modem package is included, two-way communication via text messaging is possible. Tritons operating system includes pre-written text messages the pilot can easily send to the surface, reducing the need for excessive typing. This text can also include
NMEA sentences carrying position information from the surface to the
submersibles GPS computer, providing real time navigational plotting
that can be used by the pilot. There are several USBL systems on the
market today that your Triton rep will be happy to discuss in detail.
Full Spectrum Chirp Technology Color Sounder/GPS equipment is normally found only on commercial fishing vessels but Triton
has developed it into a comprehensive navigational tool. With a powerful
31
1.5 Kilowatt transducer designed specifically for Triton, the pilot can
get a virtual representation of the bottom in over 5,000 feet of water.
Knowing altitude off bottom as well as seeing the contour itself is crucial to safe navigation. Being able to see fish, obstacles, ship wrecks
and other submersibles beneath are also clear advantages.
The unit also acts as a sophisticated GPS plotter. From the surface
the Pilot can maneuver the sub to pre-defined waypoints on a chart,
cross- reference with his data from the sounder and begin the dive with
confidence. The USBL modem can also be integrated into this unit so
that the position on the chart can be updated automatically via surface
communication giving the pilot real time chart updates. Very detailed surface and sub-sea charts with worldwide coverage are easily loaded via
SD cards.
A Doppler Velocity Log provides a variety of instrumentation capabilities in a single package including velocity (both vertical and horizontal)
heading, depth, altitude, temperature and even current speed and direction. A DVL measures speed relative to the bottom provided the submersible is in water depth within the capability of the unit.
Additional Recommended Options:

1. Manipulator 2. Submersible Mounted Mini ROV 3. Hydrophone
A Manipulator will allow you to pick up objects while you are diving.
The pilot can collect samples, set video or scientific equipment on the
bottom, hold onto an outcrop to remain stationary or sever lines or
other entanglement hazards.
If you equip your Triton with a manipulator which will include the valvepack, HPU and controller, you may also want to have a basket installed
to hold objects to take to the surface. There are a number of companies
that manufacture manipulators and their costs can vary tremendously based on the lifting capacity, size, precision, degrees of movement
and overall quality. For most recreational users, a simple manipulator is
an inexpensive and worthwhile addition to the submersible. Moreover,
we also have available very high quality advanced 7-function spatially
correspondent manipulators where the operators hand is placed in a
moveable glove and the manipulator mimics the operators movement.
Triton submersibles are all built to ABS standards which require the
manipulator system to be capable of being jettisoned, which requires
both a guillotine for hoses & cabling and a bracket that can be ejected.
Submersible Mounted Mini ROV System (small deck-mounted

remotely operated vehicle) offers numerous advantages. With recent improvements to mini remote vehicles and their tether management systems (TMS) the reality of launching and controlling an ROV from the sub
has arrived. Shipwreck and cave penetrations for reconnaissance and
videography have shown that sub mounted ROVs can be highly useful.
Hydrophone technology enables you to hear ambient ocean sounds.
Triton has worked closely with a well known manufacturer to provide our
submersibles with a sophisticated yet affordable and easy to use system
to allow the crew to listen and record ambient ocean sounds both above
and below the sub. This ability can easily be used for scientific purposes
as well as the pure enjoyment of listening to the ocean. This becomes
especially interesting in the presence of ocean mammals.
SPECIALIZED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Tritons staff has made thousands of deep submersible dives to do
both commercial work and marine science underwater. Our experience
makes us uniquely qualified to adapt a Triton to virtually any underwater
task. When we designed the Tritons we made them uniquely versatile
by building in significant payloads, extra communications wiring (electrical, Ethernet, fiber optic, serial), surplus electrical power and additional hydraulic power as well as the through-hull penetrators to power,
control and monitor a wide array of equipment.
In addition to doing useful work underwater, Tritons are uniquely

equipped for science. Science often consists of observing places and
events. The Triton sub allows scientists a front row seat with an unobstructed view of the ocean floor and water column, and it gets its
occupants closer, to the sea floor below or reef in front, than any other
submersible. Its variable ballast tank makes it possible to maintain any
depth without using power once the trim is dialed in, so the sub is
completely quiet. This proved instrumental when the Triton, for the first
time in human history, found the giant squid in deep water near Japan
in 2012. Because two scientists can be on-site at the same time, experiments can be modified in real time with the cooperation of both
experimenters.
At right is a partial list of tools and devices that can be fitted to a Triton.
Triton can develop specialty tools to suit virtually any subsea task so if
the item you are interested in is not on the list, please ask us directly.
parameters and higher factors of safety. The only Triton requiring a

man-rated system is the Triton 36000/3 Full Ocean Depth. Proximity
to the storage location of your submersible and the desired launch and
recovery location (over the side or over the stern) must be considered.
An initial review of your vessels general arrangement drawing followed
by an on-site survey by a Triton engineer are important steps to determine the optimal LARS configuration for your vessel and mission. The
following are the most common types of launch and recovery systems:
With appropriate planning, operating a submersible on-board a yacht

will be a simple and rewarding experience. Things to consider include
launch and recovery system options, maintenance, staffing, support
equipment, storage and spare parts.
Launch & Recovery Systems and Methods

Probably the most important thing to consider in the yacht integration
process, the launch and recovery system (LARS) is critical to ensuring
a safe, efficient and enjoyable operation. The LARS system you select
will be based on your vessels size (larger vessels often have many more
options), arrangement, existing equipment, build status (existing, refit
in progress, new build etc.) as well as your mission profiles requisite
operating window. For instance, if you intend to work with scientists
or filmmakers, you may need to provide a more robust LARS system
capable of being used in a wide variety of conditions. It is also important to determine if you will require a man-rated LARS. Man-rated (rated to launch and recover a submersible with passengers and
crew aboard) systems are subject to much more strigent operational
33
Fixed Boom Crane The most common LARS because of its cost
effectiveness and flexibility in loading a variety of equipment, the fixed
boom crane is simple to operate and maintain. It is primarily suited
for fair weather use as excessive pendulum action is a hazardous in
elevated sea states.
Knuckle Boom Crane This type of lifting system, while similar to
the fixed boom crane, is able to operate in a slightly wider range of
conditions (still largely fair weather) because of the ability of the boom
to articulate at one or more joints and therefore to get closer to the sub.
This helps to reduce but does not eliminate the challenge of pendulum
motion in anything but a calm sea state.
Gantry A gantry system is often used to launch and recover from a
garage on the side of a vessel or between an open hull at the stern
of a vessel. Typically ceiling/overhead mounted, a gantry system is a
moving rail system that travels in and out carrying the load with it.
Some gantries utilize a fixed rail system with a center carousel that
travels along the rails. One particularly desirable feature of gantry is
that in side garage applications, it is hidden when not in use. Like

fixed and knuckle boom cranes, a gantry LARS is best suited to fair
weather operation.
installed on the stern. Davits can be used in a wide variety of sea

states on vessels equipped for dynamic launch and recovery (see
discussion at the end of this section).
Platform Platform lift systems offer highly convenient launch and

recovery. A hydraulically driven platform typically at the rear of the
vessel, is lowered into the water with the submersible. Recovery is
accomplished by steering the submersible onto the platform and then
raising it. In most cases, the submersible will remain on the platform
for storage making launch and recovery quick and easy. Keep in mind,
that this type of LARS is typically suited only for operation in optimal
conditions.
A-Frame As the name implies, an A-frame LARS is an A-shaped,

box construction lifting system that is installed via pivoting hydraulic
cylinders on the port and starboard sides on the stern of a vessel.
Hydraulic cylinders allow an A-frame to move outward over the ocean
during launch and towards the bow (bringing the submersible back
over the stern) during recovery. With the addition of control lines to
stabilize the submersibles motion in both the pitch and roll axes it is
possible to launch and recover in rough conditions. In very rough seas,
an A-Frame LARS can further extend the operational window when
used dynamically (see below).
Floodable Compartment A floodable compartment is an option

available on some very large yachts. It is a garage that opens to the
ocean and is flooded ahead of the doors opening and the submersible
is floated out. At the conclusion of diving, the submersible is driven
back into the garage, the doors are closed and the water is pumped
out leaving the garage dry. This system is also extremely convenient
as the submersible is launched and recovered in a controlled environment and is also stored where recovered making maintenance and
charging simple.
Davits Davit systems (often used for life rafts) make use of two pivoting arms working together (systems for lighter equipment often use
a single arm). The arms pivot outward moving the submersible away
from the vessel and the sub is then lowered to the water on cables.
Davits are normally found on the sides of vessels but can also be
If you require a large operational window, a davit or A-frame system

is the best option but these are generally only possible on expedition,
commercial or scientific type vessels. These systems can be fitted
with custom capture devices that interface with your Triton. The capture system can be equipped with motion dampening equipment (internal braking) that virtually eliminates swaying in rough seas. In addition, appropriately equipped vessels can perform dynamic launch
and recovery, which allows for operation in the widest possible sea
state. Dynamic launch and recovery takes place while the support
vessel is underway (at 1-2 knots) headed into the sea eliminating
much of the lateral movement caused by wave action when a vessel
is stationary. Because the LARS and crew will deal only with pitch,
launch and recovery is easier and safer. (continued)
In order to maintaint a speed of 1-2 knots and to avoid dragging the

submersible at higher or uneven speeds, the vessel must be equipped
with controllable pitch propellers (CPP), slip clutches on the main engines or an azmuthing bow thruster. Constant tension (CT) winches
are typically used on the tag lines to minimize lateral movement. Keep
in mind that conditions requiring dynamic launch and recovery might
make opening the hatch at the surface precarious. Therefore, the
submersible may need to be launched and recovered with the pilot
and guests inside adding the requirement for a man-rated LARS. A
man-rated LARS requires redundant hydraulic sources and higher factors of safety by the classification agency.
As you can see, there are several ways to launch and recover your Triton.
However, chances are your choices will be limited to one or two of these
systems based on your vessels arrangement. This may not be the case
if your vessel is over 200 feet and you are willing to undergo a refit to
accommodate your Triton or its early enough in your vessels design and/
or construction for significant structural modifications to be possible.
Remember to engage Triton as early as possible so that we can help you
determine the best LARS for your vessel and mission objectives.
Garage and Storage Options

It is preferable to store your Triton in a covered area to simplify maintenance and optimize the life of equipment on your Triton. Your Triton can
be stored in a side/rear garage or on deck with a retracting clamshell
enclosure. It is important to have at least 1 meter of space around the
sub and ideally the same distance above for opening the hatch. Your
support equipment and charge panel should be as close to the garage
35
as possible (preferably in the garage). Spares should be readily accessible but need not be in the garage. If your Triton will be stored in any
enclosed space, hydrogen and oxygen level monitoring is required in
addition to appropriate ventilation systems.
A quick note on deck hangars: If your deck hanger is low enough to
be affected by a following sea, a system to divert water away from the
hangar should be considered.
Maintenance
Many misconceptions exist about maintaining a submersible. The
reality is that a well-built sub, while complex, is remarkably easy and
inexpensive to maintain. Maintenance falls into two main categories:
Daily Operations After each day of diving, your crew will need to
wash down your Triton with fresh water, change your CO2 scrubbing
compound, charge your batteries, charge your HP air system and depending on how much diving you did, charge your O2 bottles. The
good news is that a well-trained crew can have the sub stowed and
on charge in about 15 minutes. Charging the batteries can take some
time but is simple to monitor from a local or remote monitoring panel.
Annual Survey In order to maintain class, ABS requires an Annual Survey on a submersible. This can be completed on-site or at
Tritons facility. Annual Surveys are relatively simple and inexpensive
and take about two weeks. Every three years, ABS requires that your
Triton undergo a special periodical survey. This is essentially an expanded version of the Annual Survey involving additional electrical and
hydrostatic testing.
Crew
A well-trained crew will make operating your Triton safer, more
enjoyable and simpler. The good news is you wont need to take on
any additional crew to operate your submersible. Tritons staff will train
your existing crew members to professionally execute all of the tasks
associated with owning a submersible including how to safely pilot the
sub, coordinate dive operations from the surface (e.g. communicating
with sub, etc.), launch the sub and recover recover it quickly and safely,
and maintain your submersible Crew turnover is an issue in the management of every yacht. Tritons industry leading training program is
offered year round so if your Triton trained crew members are replaced,
we can train new crew quickly and easily. Triton can also provide professionally trained crew on either a short or long term basis, if necessary.
Support Equipment
The equipment required on your vessel to support submersible
operations will vary depending on how your vessel is currently outfitted. For example, if you already have a well equipped dive locker,
you may and probably will also have the high pressure air compressors required to charge the air systems of your Triton. We strongly
recommend a survey of your vessels existing systems to
determine what equipment is required to operate, charge and
maintain your submersible.
A typical support equipment configuration will include:
High-pressure (HP) air compressor with breathing
quality filtration
Battery chargers
HP oxygen storage cylinders

Oxygen booster pump (to transfer oxygen from vendor supply
tanks to your vessels storage and then again for transfer to the
submersible)
Vacuum pump with dry nitrogen backfill system
Miscellaneous spare parts and consumables
Spare Parts
Our philosophy regarding spare parts and consumables is it is
better to have them and not need them than to need them and
not have them. Our submersibles are inherently reliable, simple to
operate and easy to maintain. However, unexpected things can and
do happen and an appropriate inventory of spare parts and consumables will help to ensure your submersible is always ready to
dive when required. In the event the spare parts inventory doesnt
contain the specific item you need, Triton Submarines offers our
clients 24/7 technical support and most items can and will be
provided within days of a request being received. However, there
are some long lead items, which we strongly urge our clients to
purchase at the time orders for these components are being made
for the main build.
Submersible operations conducted on a well-equipped support vessel

by a well-trained crew should be safe, simple and enjoyable. The following is a brief summary of a typical day of submersible operation:
1. Determining mission profile The mission profile could be as
simple as doing a recreational dive in shallow water at a known
site. More complex dive profiles could involve scientific equipment, exploration, submersible systems checks, etc. Regardless
of the complexity of the dive, it is important that all of the crewmembers participating in the dive are present at a pre-dive briefing. The briefing will cover dive schedule, crew and passenger
changes, break schedules, dive profile (depth, time, site review,
etc.), launch and recovery methods (static or dynamic, etc), submersible preparation, weather conditions and any other details related to the planned dive(s). The weights of crew, passengers and
additional equipment are also recorded to allow the ballast to be
adjusted during the pre-dive check. The pre-dive briefing could be
just a few minutes long for a recreational dive or much longer for
a complex scientific dive, deep dive or submersible systems check
out dive, etc.
2. Pre-dive check Prior to diving, the submersible crew will go
through a number of checklists to ensure the submersible is ready
for safe operation. Under normal conditions, the check is generally completed within 30 minutes. Checklists include water alarms,
seals, electronics, navigation systems, air systems, life support
37
systems, air conditioning, emergency systems and payload verification (crew, passengers, additional equipment, and ballast).
3. Launch The surface officer (SO) runs the dive operation from
launch to recovery and is responsible for ensuring that certain
items are completed prior to launch. These include completion of
the pre-dive briefing and pre-dive check, ensuring that all requisite
stations are manned and all equipment is operational, ensuring the
submersible is positioned and ready for launch, the dive area is clear
of vessel traffic and the conditions are suited to safe operation. The
SO will then instruct the LARS operator as the submersible is lifted
from the deck of the support vessel and placed into the water. The
launch process will vary depending on the type of LARS utilized,
weather conditions and the mission profile but is typically completed
within ten to fifteen minutes.
4. Pilot and passenger boarding Once the submersible has been
launched, the pilot will board and run through a series of checks
to make sure the sub can be detached from the LARS. The pilot
will then request that the passengers board (pilot and SO communicate via VHF radio on the surface). Passengers are transferred
to the back deck of the submersible via a RIB (or jet ski, tender or
other small watercraft). A crew member will help them enter the
submersible through the hatch and will secure the hatch once they
are inside. The pilot can then commence the dive after giving the
passengers a short briefing.
5. Diving After the passengers have boarded, the hatch is secure

and the briefing is completed, the pilot will request permission to
dive or vent from the surface officer. During the dive, the pilot
and SO remain in communication a mimum of every 15 minutes
via an underwater telephone (UWT). A typical recreational dive
lasts an hour or two and often involves diving on reefs, shipwrecks
and with various marine species. When the dive is complete and
the pilot is ready to surface, he will communicate with the SO to
make sure the surface is clear.
6. Crew and passenger changeovers Once at the surface, the

submersible will either be recovered or passengers exchanged.
In either case, the chase vessel will approach the stern and a
crewmember will transfer to the back deck of the submersible
and open the hatch. The current passengers will disembark and
board the chase vessel and the new passengers will climb into
the submersible. Pilots can also be rotated at this time on longer
diving days. Several dives can be made each day with passenger
and/or pilot swaps between, but in some cases, the sub may only
make one dive prior to recovery. Prior to recovery, the passengers are typically transferred to the chase vessel and the pilot will
position the submersible for recovery. This may require a short
tow from the chase vessel or repositioning of the support vessel
depending on currents and the dive profile.
7. Recovery For recreational diving, almost all recoveries will be

static meaning that the support vessel is stationary during recovery. For safe operation of most basic LARS, a relatively calm
condition is preferred. Once the submersible is in position, the
chase vessel will approach and a crewmember will board. He
will then secure the subs lifting bridle to the LARS and open the
hatch for the pilot to exit. The pilot and crewmember then board
the chase vessel and the submersible is lifted onto the support vessel and placed in its garage or storage location. If diving
is being conducted in an elevated sea state, dynamic recovery may be necessary. This method of recovery is not typically
utilized during recreational diving operations.
8. Charging and maintenance Once on deck, the submersible

is secured and rinsed with fresh water. HP air and O2 are replenished, the used CO2 scrubbing compound is removed and
the batteries are put on charge. Battery charging is monitored
and logged every hour by a technician.

As with any process, the right equipment, the right training

and adequate preparation will make operating a submersible a
pleasure. From the initial briefing to charging and maintenance,
operating your Triton will in all likelihood be one of the most
rewarding activities you engage in aboard your yacht.
There are a number of important criteria useful in evaluating passenger

submarine design, but the first question asked by a prospective customer is Are they safe?
The answer is yes, very. Passenger submarines are designed and built
under the supervision of, and in accordance with the regulations and
rules established by, one of the major classification societies. The three
largest classification organizations are the American Bureau of Shipping
(ABS), Lloyds Register of Shipping and Germanischer Lloyd.
The ABS has the most experience of the three in submarine certification,
having classified most of the manned submersibles built in the last several decades. It is pertinent to note that there has never been a serious
injury or fatality to any passenger stemming from the operation of an
ABS certified commercial or passenger submersible.
Involvement by the classification society begins with the approval of the
initial design, evolves to a survey process during construction and continues with annual inspections of the submarine throughout its life.
Submersibles that meet the stringent requirements of the ABS are
awarded class and are listed in the Record of the Society as A1
Manned Submersible, or in the case of Germanischer Lloyd 100A. The
is deleted if the craft was not constructed under society supervision but
was later surveyed and awarded classification.
In order to retain classification, which is important as it would be virtually impossible to operate and insure a submersible without the A1 or
100A rating, the submersible undergoes a thorough annual survey that
includes a detailed inspection of major systems. The Annual is a simple
39
process that will require about two weeks to complete. During the Annual, the following are completed:
Inspection of pressure boundaries and sealing surfaces
Test of communication systems, electrical systems and
emergency equipment
Inspection and recalibration of gauges
Inspection of emergency supplies including fire extinguishers
Dive and maintenance log inspection
A check out dive to full rated depth is also completed with an
ABS surveyor present during which the ballasting and positioning systems are tested/demonstrated.
Additionally, every three years the submarine undergoes an even
more stringent survey. The Special Periodical Survey includes all of
items in an annual in addition to the following:
Valve inspection (including threads)
All ballast, air and oxygen tanks and tubing are visually inspected
Tubing for air and O2 systems is pressure tested
Variable ballast tank is hydrostatically tested to 1.25x
operating pressure
Air and oxygen tanks are hydrostatically tested to 1.25x
operating pressure
Removal and inspection of through hull penetrators
Pressure hull is thoroughly examined
Electrical cables are inspected for deterioration
A ground fault detection test is completed
Visual inspection of frame
If, and only if, the submarine is to be used commercially (e.g. carrying
6+ passengers for hire) in the United States the U.S. Coast Guard
will approve the submarine design and survey construction, actually
duplicating work done by the ABS. The Coast Guard also stipulates
requirements for the experience levels and licensing of the submersible crew, insures the existence of adequate documentation which includes operation and maintenance manuals, applicable logs, records
and checklists, etc., and assures compliance with a substantial body of
safety and other regulations. Again, this is only pertinent for commercial passenger carrying operations and would not apply to a privately
owned submersible.
Assurance of submersible safety begins with the design process.
The cost to design a contemporary passenger submarine that might
cost $2.5 million to build approaches, and in some cases exceeds
$300,000. Literally thousands of man hours are required and hundreds of drawings are generated. Detailed calculations are required
in such areas as pressure vessel stress analysis, life support systems,
electrical load requirements and buoyancy and stability analysis. All
materials to be used during construction must be certified and specified beforehand. The design specifications generally follow the requirements of such regulations as proposed in Rules for Building and
Classing Underwater Systems and Vehicles by the ABS, the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Standard for Pressure Vessels
for Human Occupancy as well as various bulletins of the Welding Research Council.
When the design is finally complete it will be exhaustively analyzed by
the engineers of the regulatory agency and classification society, and
41
those plans that are satisfactory will be approved. Once all plans have
been authorized, construction may commence.
Society surveyors are on hand for the construction process. They assure the quality of the materials and the construction techniques. They
monitor the welding process, implement and review extensive non destructive testing procedures, and they witness the hydrostatic testing
of piping and gas storage systems and ballast tanks. Inspectors also
verify the installation and testing of mechanical and electrical systems,
check safety devices and examine critical dimensions. Subsequent
to pressure hull completion a hydrostatic submergence or drop
test with strain gauges is carried out to 1.25 times the design depth.
Requirements for submarine design classification include many redundant systems that can be used in the event of a primary system malfunction. These include ballast/trim, life support, propulsion and electrical
systems. The ballast/trim systems of the submarine control the crafts
buoyancy and insure its stability under a broad range of conditions. The
ballast system controls the submarines ability to descend underwater,
maintain depth or rise to the surface, while the trim system controls weight
distribution along the length of the craft, or its angle of incline in reference to the horizontal. Ballast and trim systems are composed of three
components; 1) the hard or variable ballast tanks which are externally
mounted and use high pressure air to control buoyancy and adjust for
variations in weight distribution (trim) in the submarine. Hard ballast can
also be pumped dry by an electric ballast pump. 2) Soft ballast tanks are
non-pressurized and are also externally mounted and are used primarily
to provide additional freeboard and stability while the submarine is on
the surface. They are vented through the bottom to the water, which is
displaced by the introduction of high pressure air. In an emergency the

soft tanks can be blown full of air, causing the submarine to rise
rapidly to the surface. 3) A drop-weight of one or more sections, or
possibly one or more battery pods can be manually released in an
emergency, dramatically lightening the submarine and causing it to
surface. In some designs moveable weights or batteries are used to
control trim either in conjunction with, or in substitution for, variable
ballast trim procedures. A further method of surfacing is the vertical
thruster system which can be actuated to propel the submarine upwards. Indeed, some submersibles are designed in such a way as to
always be slightly positively buoyant, and they require the constant use
of the vertical thrusters to remain submerged.
In summary, ABS certification requires that the submarine be able to

surface with the largest single volume flooded, with the exception of
the pressure hull. This can be accomplished by blowing or pumping the
hard ballast tanks, blowing the soft tanks, releasing the dropweights or
powering to the surface with thrusters.
Life support systems consist of oxygen supply and delivery, an atmosphere control mechanism and a carbon dioxide removal process. Most
passenger submarines have one or more refrigerant based air conditioning units that maintain reasonable cabin temperatures and control
humidity and remove odors. These are operated in conjunction with a
scrubber system that removes the carbon dioxide to a level of 0.5% or
below. Oxygen is supplied from high pressure cylinders and is automatically injected into the cabin at a rate that replaces the oxygen consumed
and maintains a level of 21% by volume. In the event of a failure, a
manual bypass system with flow meters and monitoring equipment are
available. In addition, built in breathing sets for each person on board

must have a two hour air supply. A purge compressor is used to maintain
atmospheric pressure regardless of the depth of the submarine or the
internal temperature. This also prevents accidental over pressure in the
event of a high pressure air leak. Regulatory agencies and the certifying
society require at least 72 hours of oxygen supply and carbon dioxide
removal capability for an entire complement of crew and passengers.
Leisure submarines are usually powered by several externally mounted
brushless DC motors. Sufficient system redundance exists to allow for
the propulsion of the craft in the event of a unit failure.
Electrical power is provided by either sealed lead acid traction batteries or sealed gel cell batteries. Either type are capable of providing
power for the submarine for 10 to 14 operating hours per day, and
can be fully recharged in an eight hour period. The batteries have a
minimum useful life of 1500 deep cycle charges. Main power is either 120V, 240V, or 288V DC which provides electricity for the main
propulsion devices, lighting, etc. A separate 24V/12V system is used
for life support systems, navigation and communication equipment.
Moreover, a secondary separate 24V/12V emergency power system is also required. Sophisticated circuit breakers and power shutoff equipment are available to provide circuit isolation as necessary.
The battery compartments are isolated and have their own hydrogen
removal/scrubbing purge compressor/ventilation systems. The submarines are equipped with several bilge pumps, and both active and
passive fire fighting systems. The craft is in constant contact with the
surface support vessel via a dual frequency underwater telephone, or
when surfaced, with a VHF marine band radio.
Cayman Islands Shipping Registry

In addition to ABS classification, every Triton model is built in full compliance with the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) guidelines
for design, manufacture, operation and maintenance for manned submersibles. CISR compliance is important for two reasons. CISR is
the preferred flag state for megayachts and their guidelines do not
allow a non-CISR compliant submersible to be operated from a CISR
registered support vessel. Triton does not want its customers to be
faced with having to reflag their vessel to carry a sub. In addition,
CISRs guidelines for submersible registration are among the strictest
worldwide. Submersibles that comply with CISR guidelines are likely
to comply with the requirements of almost any other flag state (several
do not have submersible guidelines or requirements).
Safety by Design
The overall design of Triton submersibles gives them an advantage in
safe operations from the outset. The three greatest risks associated
with submersible operation are swamping/instability on the surface,
accidents that take place during launch and recovery and underwater
entanglement.
The catamaran hull configuration (large main ballast tanks on either
side of the hull) of each Triton provides tremendous stability on the
surface. This combined with the Tritons excellent freeboard (distance
between the waterline and the hatch) allows the submersible to be
launched and recovered without the pilot or passengers eliminating
many of the risks associated with manned launch and recovery. Crew
and passenger changes take place in the water via rigid inflatable.
43
The occupants aboard the inflatable transfer to the Tritons large back
deck and climb into the hatch making the rotation of crew and guests
both safe and simple. The combination of ample freeboard and superior surface stability also dramatically reduce the risk of swamping
(water entering through the hatch at the surface).
The transition from the surface to being fully submerged is the time
when a submersible is least stable. Crossing the interface rapidly is
important, particularly in rough conditions in order to minimize loss of
stability. Triton submarines vent fully and are 100% submerged within
15-20 seconds of opening vents. This is in strong contrast to the 90120 seconds that some competing submersibles require.
Entanglement in monofilament lines, fishing nets and other underwater items while uncommon, is a risk that every submersible faces
during operation. The fully transparent acrylic pressure hull of a Triton
provides the pilot and passengers with unmatched, forward, lateral,
upward and downward visibility which dramatically reduces the risk
of entanglement or collision. Tritons are also designed with rounded
edges and very few protrusions, further reducing entanglement risk.
Triton Submarines has collected the finest, most experienced talent in the
civil submarine business. Each member of the full time management staff
at the company averages 26.7 years of dedicated civil submarine and
submersible experience. Including part time staff, the group collectively
represents more than 350 years of experience. No competitor even remotely approaches this level of expertise. Tritons incredible level of com-
petitive superiority is based on the tremendous operations experience of

the staff. We know what works in the subsea environment because, more
than any group in the world, weve been there. Weve spent thousands of
hours piloting more than 80 different civil submarines and submersibles.
Our Engineering Manager was in charge of design review at the American
Bureau of Shipping for over 25 different submersibles.

MINIMUM WEIGHT, VOLUME & FOOTPRINT

Deck space is at a premium aboard a yacht and the smallest Tritons
compact design is only 10 feet LOA, less than half of most competitors
submersibles. This means the sub stows easily and is significantly easier to launch and recover.
TRANSPARENT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
The main reason for owning a submersible is to experience the incredible diversity of the ocean world and to do that you have to be able to
see out of the sub effectively. The Tritons totally transparent passenger
compartment provides unsurpassed viewing for the occupants.
SUPERIOR SURFACE STABILITY & FREEBOARD
The catamaran configuration of the Triton results in unequalled surface
stability making it easy for the occupants to get in and out of the sub
while it is in the water. The top mounted entrance hatch provides more
freeboard (distance from the waterline to the hatch) than any other small
submersible. The combination of surface stability and freeboard represent the single most important safety factor in submersible operations.
SIMPLE LAUNCH & RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS
Unlike many submarines where the hatch cannot be opened with the
sub in the water and the occupants have to be loaded into the sub on
deck, the Triton can be entered in the water, from the yacht, a tender, or
even a jet ski. The Triton does not require an expensive, elaborate, manrated launch and recovery system, making it far more cost effective to
own and operate.
45
UNSURPASSED FORWARD/DOWNWARD VISIBILITY

When you are cruising in a submersible underwater the best view is forward and down. No sub in the world gives you better viewing and gets
you closer to the reef in front, and the sea floor below.
DIGITAL TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL & MONITORING
A highly sophisticated and proprietary digital touch screen control, navigation, and monitoring system makes Triton uniquely easy to operate and
reduces pilot workload. Embedded checklists, automated alarms and an
advanced autopilot system improve safety.
THREE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLS
Digital proportional joystick control coupled to thrusters that move the submersible in all three axes provides for unsurpassed intuitive maneuverability.
INDUSTRYS MOST ADVANCED TRAINING & SUPPORT
Triton submersibles are simple and intuitive to operate and Triton will help
ensure that every dive is a success with its comprehensive training and
support system. Every owner is contractually obligated to have an operator successfully complete our in-house pilot and maintenance training
program, which sets the industry standard for effectiveness. Customer
support is also available 24/7.
OPERATIONS & DESIGN EXPERIENCE

The Triton designers and operations senior staff are the most experienced civil sub experts in the world with over 350 years of collective,
dedicated civil sub experience. This is an order of magnitude more than
any of our competitors. Patrick Lahey, Tritons President, is the most
experienced civil sub pilot active in the world today, and many of our
pilots have made more than 10,000 dives. Our far-reaching experience means we have seen the effective design and operations solutions in many environments and this results in our ability to engineer
the worlds best submersibles.
DEEP SUBMERSIBLE PILOT SIMULATOR
Part of Tritons training protocol, the full sized Triton simulator is the only
one of its kind and an indispensible tool in training capable pilots. Pilot
trainees are able to log hundreds of simulated dive cycles before hitting
the water. The development of this simulator is an excellent example of
our commitment to effective and efficient training. No other company in
the world has made an investment of this kind to date.
IN-WATER ACCESS
Triton submersibles are remarkably and uniquely stable at the surface
with ample freeboard (distance between the water and the hatch). The
stability provided by the catamaran style hull and the ample freeboard
allows passenger and crew changes to happen in the water instead
of having to launch and recover with passengers in the submersible.
Passengers and crew changes are simple and made via jet ski, inflatable or tender. Imagine the contrast of having to launch and recover
the sub between every dive. Many competing submersibles lack sufficient freeboard and require manned launch and recovery. Without
sufficient freeboard, if someone panics and opens the hatch while the
sub is in the water, it could have disastrous consequences.

ADDED DEPTH CAPABILITY
The deeper you can go, the more you can explore. Some of the oceans
most magnificent sites are thousands of feet below the surface. Triton
has a proven record of building the deepest diving and most reliable
yacht-based submersibles on the market.
COMPREHENSIVE PILOT TRAINING a Triton Exclusive

Tritons industry-leading three phase pilot training program has
created some of the worlds most capable deep submersible pilots.
Tritons master instructors have each logged tens of thousands of
hours and thousands of submersible dives in every conceivable
environment from recreational diving to oil field work from the

Cayman Islands to the seas of Japan, our team has done it all.
Their experience is passed on to Triton pilot trainees in each of the
following three phases:
Phase 1: Systems Orientation & Familiarization
Phase 2: Triton Simulator Instruction and Diving
Phase 3: Open Water Training
A thorough working knowledge of the parts and systems

of a submersible is required to prepare a pilot for any
potential situation. Conducted at our Vero Beach manufacturing facility over a two-week period, this phase involves the
trainee participating in the final assembly or annual survey
of a Triton submersible. In addition, classroom and self-study
time is used to help hone the pilot trainees knowledge.
Conducted concurrently with Phase 1, Phase 2 gives the trainee

the opportunity to drill for skill in a safe environment. During
instructed simulator time, the pilot trainee will learn everything
required to conduct safe diving operations including:
Open water training gives the pilot trainee the opportunity to finetune the skills acquired during systems orientation and familiarization
and simulator training but in a real world environment. Conducted
at sea over a ten to fourteen day period, the pilot trainee will do a
minimum of twenty dives as pilot in command with a qualified Triton
instructor. The same elements covered in simulator training will be
combined with launch and recovery, support vessel crew interaction,
daily maintenance and in-mission troubleshooting. Upon conclusion of
Phase 3, the pilot will be issued a certificate of completion and is fully
qualified to operate the specific Triton submersible.
At the end of Phase 1, the trainee will have a solid working

knowledge of the parts and systems of a Triton submersible.

a submersible is not just about being able to maneuver it. For example, to a well-trained pilot, maneuvering the sub, communication protocols, passenger interaction and emergency procedures are all second
nature. The best way to reach this level of fluency is by diving in a controlled environment where every
imaginable scenario can be repeated over and over without risk. Ample simulator time ensures that each
and every Triton pilot trainee is completely capable in all aspects of dive operations prior to taking their
first open water dive. Triton is the only company in the world with a deep submersible simulator.

The deep ocean is no place for compromise

Triton Submarines is dedicated to producing the highest quality, safest
and most functionally superior deep submersibles in existence based
on over 350 years of collective experience. We are absolutely committed
to ensuring every aspect of our design is of the highest possible quality.
As a result, Tritons submersibles are unashamedly more expensive than
those of our competitors. We make a fair profit, our parent company has
been in business for 20 years and we expect to be here for decades to
come. If you compare products with a discerning eye you too will come to
understand that when your familys safety is at stake in a hostile environment like the deep ocean there is no place for compromise.
L. Bruce Jones, CEO
Bruce grew up living on heavy marine construction platforms in the South

China Sea and the Persian Gulf. He learned to dive at the age of nine
under the jacket of an oil tanker terminal seven miles off Kuwait. His first
jobs were in the marine construction business and usually involved diving
or operating a boat. He had the opportunity to travel extensively from a
very young age and has visited over 116 countries. Bruce attended high
school at Culver Military Academy and it was there that he began sketching submarines and underwater habitats and writing letters to Jacques
Cousteau, developing a passion that has consumed him for his entire life.
The Deep Ocean is no place for compromi
Location & Facilities
Tritons manufacturing facility is located in Vero Beach, Florida just off
Interstate 95. Triton builds new submersibles and performs refits and routine maintenance at the Vero Beach location. Tritons electrical team designs, prints and populates the circuit boards for Triton electrical systems
in addition to assembling the internal and external electrical components
49
in the electronics workshop. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems are also

assembled and tested on site. The Vero Beach manufacturing facility is
home to the worlds only private submersible simulator, an integral part
of Tritons comprehensive pilot training program. Triton welcomes visitors
and would be happy to arrange a tour for you.
Bruce was formerly the president of L. Bruce Jones & Associates, Ltd.,
the leading technical and business development consulting firm on the
tourist submersible industry. In 1993 Bruce co-founded U.S. Submarines,
Inc. and today Bruce acts as the CEO for a total of eight subsea technology companies. These include U.S. Submarines, Triton Submarines, Triton
Specialty Vessels, Triton Submarine Charters, Triton Energy Systems, U.S.
Submarine Structures and Poseidon Undersea Resorts.
Bruce is an expert in all aspects of manned submersibles and tourist

submarines. Over the past 25 years he has consulted for most of the
companies active, or interested in, this field and he has evaluated all the
major civil submersible and submarine designs and has been responsible for tourist submarine related business development, capital acquisition, and operational start-ups. He has conceived and co-designed
several personal luxury submarines as well and is the developer behind
the worlds first undersea resort and the H2ome, the worlds first sea
floor one-atmosphere residential structures. He also provided the impetus behind Tritons development of the Triton 36000/3, soon to be the
worlds deepest diving multi-passenger submersible.
Bruce holds a degree in geological science from Trinity University and he
did further graduate work in that field at the University of Washington.
He attended the Executive MBA program at St. Marys University. Bruce
is also one of the worlds leading research gemologists and operates
the worlds best-equipped private gemological research Lab. He holds
substantial credentials in that field (G.G., F.G.A., DGemG). A well-known
gem cutter, he is the President of the U.S. Faceters Guild. He was formerly the president of Pacific Gemological Services, the vice president
of Research and Education at AGMS and the CEO of Air Shuttle, Inc.
He was recently a member of the Board of Directors of the Aviation
Technology Group and is a member of the Board of Advisors at Bye
Aerospace. Bruce is a fixed wing, helicopter, seaplane, glider, hot-air
balloon and ultralight pilot and he and his wife, also a pilot, are planning
a circumnavigation by small aircraft. He is also an experienced diver and
a former U.S. Collegiate National Skydiving champion.
For eight years Bruce was the Chairman of the Manned Submersibles
Committee of the Marine Technology
Society, and he was a review panel
member of the Society of Naval
Architects & Marine Engineers
U.S. Coast Guard Submersible
Safety Panel. He is an appointed
member to The American Bureau
of Shippings Special Committee on
Underwater Systems & Vehicles.

Poseidon Undersea Resorts (Fiji) LLC is making history by designing, building, installing and operating the worlds first luxury sea floor eco-resort.
The Poseidon Undersea Resort will be a unique, exclusive,
seven-star destination located at a private island in Fiji. This one-of-a-kind

resort will be built under 40 feet of water (13 m) and will be connected to
land by two piers with access and egress from elevators in each end-unit.
The Poseidon Undersea Resorts underwater portion will consist of 25

suites, of which 24 will be 550 square feet (51 m2). The luxurious Nautilus Suite will be 1,100 square feet (102 m2). There will be a 100-seat,
3,000 square foot (279 m2) restaurant and a bar/lounge combination in
one end unit and in the other there will be a library/lounge, an underwater
spa, the Nautilus Suite as well as a conference room/wedding chapel and
theatre area.
The on-island complex will include a total of 51 additional luxury units, including 24 beachside bungalows each approximately 1,400 sq. feet with a
private splash pool and courtyard, an additional 26 over-water bungalows
on the lagoon and a land-based presidential suite reserved for our most
important guests. There will be 76 suites in all, accommodating up to 152
guests. A reception building, five restaurants and six bars, two swimming
pools, tennis courts, dive shop, luxury spa, fitness center, 9-hole golf
course and other support buildings are also shore based. Moreover, for the
first time in history guests will have a chance to pilot one of four 1,000foot capable 3-passenger personal submarines in our pristine 5,000-acre
lagoon. A second resort is being planned for a Caribbean island.

line loss.
Triton Energy Systems will integrate technology developed by Triton
Submarines, LLC for deep diving manned submersibles into the FAT
ERGs control, monitoring, power conversion, transmission and distribution systems.
The Triton Equipped Charter Yacht Advantage

Capture your unfair share of the charter market
The luxury yacht charter business is becoming increasingly competitive as
more and more owners are turning to charter to offset operational expenses. The global recession has also caused potential buyers to select charter
as a more cost effective way to experience the luxury yachting lifestyle.
While this would typically bode well for charter yacht owners, the significant
increase in the size of the global charter fleet continues to dramatically outstrip charter sales growth leaving owners with the difficult task of remaining
competitive without slashing prices to unprofitable levels. Placing a Triton
aboard your vessel will ensure that you are uniquely positioned to provide
yacht owners with a charter amenity that effectively addresses the
market demand for a one-of-a-kind charter experience. Triton Submarine Charters, LLC can also help you charter your Triton independently
of your vessel. For more information contact: marc@tritonsubs.com

Tourist Submarines
Provide an H2ome for Charter
Triton Energy Systems
U.S. Submarines Inc is a world leader in the development of tourist submarine business operations. Last year a world-wide fleet of approximately
40 tourist submarines carried 1 million tourists down onto coral reefs and
wreck sites for hour-long undersea adventures. U.S. Submarines does
comprehensive site feasibility studies and business plans for proposed
tourist sub operations world-wide. We can provide a full turn-key scenario
with fully trained and licensed crew, maintenance contracts, etc or we can
assist with any single aspect of putting a tourist sub operation together.
The H2ome built by U.S. Submarine Structures is the worlds first sea
floor residence. A 3,600 square foot underwater structure this luxury
three bedroom residence can be placed in water that is between 35 and
60 feet deep. The 2-story H2ome is accessed by a pier from the beach
and then by elevator down the central column. The interior of the H2ome
is always at surface pressure so the residence is not pressurized at all as
the structure itself resists the hydrostatic pressure of the ocean. This is
luxury in the extreme, with magnificent undersea views from every room,
push button fish feeders, underwater lights and even an underwater submarine garage to park your Triton sub.
Triton Energys underwater turbines
Just as luxury yachts are chartered for a week at prices as high as

$1.5 million, a unique sea floor residence could easily be chartered for
$250,000 per week or more, providing a return of $7+ million per year
(EBITDA). We have an excellent site selected in Roatan. See http://ussubstructures.com for more information or contact bruce@tritonsubs.com.

Glossary of Terms
ABS American Bureau of Shipping. ABS is a classification agency
with over 20 years of experience with submersible classification. ABS
is the preferred agency for every major tourist submersible operation
in the world. ABS classed submersibles have been carrying about 1
million passengers per year for over 20 years with no major injuries
or fatalities making an ABS classed sub statistically the safest form of
transportation in the world.
A-Frame As the name implies, an A-Frame is an A shaped, box
construction lifting system that is installed via pivoting anchors on the
port and starboard sides on the stern of a vessel.
67
Acrylic Commonly known by the brand name Plexiglas, acrylic

is the material used in the 1000, 3300 and 5500 foot-rated Triton
pressure hulls. Acrylics refractive properties are almost identical to
water making the hull virtually invisible when submerged.
Buoyancy Buoyancy is the phenomenon (discovered by Archimedes)

that an object less dense than a fluid will float in the fluid. Archimedes
principle states that a fluid will exert an upward force on an object immersed equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Certification The action the U.S. Coast Guard takes in awarding

a vessel a certificate of Inspection (COI). It is not a guarantee that a
vessel is safe to operate; only recognition that it has passed the U. S.
Coast Guards inspection on a given date.
Altitude The distance from the ocean bottom to the bottom of the
submersible.
Cabin Pressure The air pressure in the passenger compartment of

a submersible. Triton Submersibles are always at surface pressure or 1
Atmosphere (atm).
Charge Panel A panel on the support vessel equipped with HP air,

O2 and battery charging connectors and monitoring devices.
Ambient Pressure The pressure of the surrounding environment.

Ambient pressure submersibles are designed such that the pressure
in the passenger compartment is equal to the water pressure at a
given depth. Triton submersibles do not have ambient pressure hulls.
The passenger compartment of every Triton model remains at surface
pressure regardless of depth. The strength of the hull keeps water out
rather than a balance in pressure.
Captain Typically refers to the Captain of the support vessel from

which the submersible is launched. The person responsible for operating the submersible is referred to as the pilot.
Captain of the Port (COPT) An officer in any country responsible for
safety of facilities and operations in a given port.
Annual Survey- An annual inspection required by ABS (or other

classification agencies) to keep a submersible in class. This helps ensure safe operation and continued insurability of the submersible.
Center of Buoyancy The mathematical center of the volume displaced by a vessel. Unlike the center of gravity, for center of buoyancy
includes only intact volumes, i.e., the external outline contributes to the
calculation. Internal components do not.
Atmosphere (atm) A unit of measure used to describe water pressure at various depths. Pressure begins at sea level at 1 atm and increases by 1 atm for every 10 meters of depth (about 33 feet).
Center of Gravity That point in an object around which its weight is

evenly distributed or balanced, i.e., the mathematical summation of the
center of weight of every component of a vessel.
Ballast Any material used to control buoyancy and stability.
Certificate of Inspection A certificate issued by the U.S. Coast

Guard that certifies a vessel has been inspected and satisfies safety
requirements for the hull, machinery and safety equipment. A COI for
small passenger vessels less than 65 feet long is valid for three years.
At least two re-inspections must be made within the triennial inspection
period in order for the COI to remain valid.
Ballast Tanks A floodable volume on a submersible used to control

buoyancy and on occasion, stability.
BIBS Built In Breathing System A SCUBA regulator capable of supplying breathing air.
Chase Boat A surface vessel that remains at the dive site during
operations for the purpose of communicating with the submersible
and coordination surface operations. The chase boat is typically a RIB
(Rigid Inflatable Boat). The Surface Officer is located in the chase boat.
Classification Classification is an official recognition bestowed
upon a marine craft by one or more of the internationally recognized
classification societies. Classification is one indication that the marine
craft owner has exercised due diligence during the construction and
service life of the vessel. To remain in class, a vessel must undergo
periodic surveys to verify that it is maintained to class standards and
in conformance with the Rules.
CO2 Scrubbing Compound A rough granular substance that is
used to remove CO2 from the passenger compartment.
Crane (Fixed Boom) The most common crane, fixed booms are attached to the deck of the support vessel via a pedestal. At the top of the
pedestal is a rotating turret (typically capable of rotating 360 degrees) to
which a boom is attached. The boom is raised and lowered via hydraulic
cylinders that are attached to the lower portion of the boom and the
turret. A cable extending from the boom tip attaches to a hook (or other
attachment mechanism), which can be raised or (continued)
lowered via a winch or by actuating the hydraulic cylinders attached

to the boom. A variation of this type of crane is an extending boom
crane featuring a boom which can be extended and retracted during
operation for increased versatility.
Flag (or Flag State) The country/region where a vessel is registered.
Crane (Knuckle Boom) Similar to the fixed boom crane with the
added ability of the boom to articulate at one or more joints.
Floodable Volume Any area on a submersible that contains air (passenger compartment, air tanks, variable ballast tanks, external electrical
junction box, battery pods etc.).
Critical dimensional check A test of inspection of safety critical

dimensions of the structure of a submersible, such as the hull roundness
or circularity.
Davit Davit systems (often used for life rafts) make use of two pivoting
arms working together (systems for lighter equipment can use a single
arm). The arms pivot outward moving the load away from the vessel and
the load is then lowered to the water on cables.
Depth Rating The maximum depth for safe operation of a particular
submersible/submarine.
Drop Weight System An on board safety system that consists of a
weight attached to the exostructure, which may be released to provide
positive buoyancy and rapid ascent in the event of an emergency.

Submersible Any vessel that operates with its entire hull below the
surface of the water. While most are free swimming, submersibles may
also be tethered or on tracks. They may be manned or unmanned and
remotely operated, and (if manned) may or may not require a self-contained air supply. Its important to understand the difference between a
submersible and a submarine. A submarine is capable of generating its
own power, either by running a diesel electric generator while surfaced,
or running a nuclear reactor.
