Private
Imagine having the freedom of your own personal submersible in a marina near your home or even in front of your home. This will give
you the opportunity to invite friends to come and explore the ocean
with you. A great advantage of the C-Quester and the C-Explorer is
that you don’t need a yacht. Because of the double hull construction
of the submersibles you can easily pilot these advanced underwater
machines to a reef pass or a steep declining wall in the ocean and
explore what’s going on below you.
Challenges & Solutions
Operating Capabilities
The surface speed of the submersibles is 4 knots. The sub can easily be towed by a small tender. You still have access to a large operational area with the above advantages, as the submersibles do not necessarily need to be operated in liaison with a large support ship.
Cost
The traditional research-oriented submersible will easily set you back several million euros /dollars. The ownership of a C-Quester or a C-Explorer submersible means an investment in the range of smaller luxury pleasure aircraft.
Support necessities
Each submersible operation requires liaison with a support boat and a surface officer. The C-Quester and the C-Explorer, being a boat by itself, can operate with a small tender only.
Minimal Management Obligations
Maintenance, insurance, classification renewals, and permits are not what the average individual has in mind when considering the joy of owning a personal sub. U-Boat Worx assumes full responsibility for managing these items in order to allow the client to enjoy diving with his submersible to the full extent.
