“I have never been in a submersible before and I must say it was an indescribably thrilling activity. It’s an experience of such a different nature from scuba that it is not comparable. It’s not an either/or, though for non divers it may be."

Had I been a potential client I’d have signed before we even finished the descent. This submersible is set to be the ultimate feature on the superyacht.”

“For 10 years, SEAmagine has been involved with the design, construction and operation of manned submersibles. In addition, the company’s leaders have been involved with a wide variety of professional activities in the general area of undersea vehicle operations.  This dedication and broad experience in manned submersible development have put the company in an excellent position to expand its in-house training programs to encompass a full range of manned submersibles.”

NEMO is a completely autonomous, one atmosphere, Seamagine submersible currently based in Fremantle, Australia. Together with its 40 ton support ship Maniki III, it is capable of a multitude of tasks within a three hundred mile radius of port.

“When seated in Nemo's comfortable cabin, the occupants are afforded a 360 degree view of the surrounding ocean. It is not uncommon for the passengers to comment that the glass seems to disappear once the sub submerges.

One of Nemo's major design features is its ease of deployment. It can be lowered (unmanned) into the sea avoiding the requirement of a 'man rated' crane. This feature gives Nemo the ability to submerge with different passengers  repeatedly during the day without the need for the sub's retrieval aboard Maniki.

Nemo has been designed with the utmost safety in mind.”
