The AURORA-6S is a 6-Person (1 pilot and 5 passengers) submarine that has a maximum depth rating range of 300 m to 1000 m and has a dry weight starting at 7500 kg. The submarine’s extra-large transparent spherical cabin provides all occupants a view unobstructed by top hatches and side pontoons and thereby provides the sensation of entering the underwater world, as opposed to simply observing it. The seating arrangement maximizes space and comfort for each occupant in the large spherical window and is configured with the rear passengers sitting higher than the ones in the front so that everyone has a stunning underwater view in all directions.
When floating at surface, this submarine has a high freeboard making a stable platform for people to walk on for boarding. The ease and safety of boarding is enhanced with telescopic handrails on the upper deck, a very large entry hatch, a gentle staircase leading people from the deck to the interior, and sufficient interior space with convertible seating that gives spacious room for the passengers to move comfortably to their seats. This well thought out innovative design ensures safety, comfort, and represents a powerful electric underwater vehicle powered by the latest in lithium polymer battery technology. The submarine is equipped with six powerful electric propulsion thrusters allowing superior underwater maneuverability and is also equipped with the latest subsea technology regarding sonars, cameras, lighting and navigation technologies.
The AURORA-6S is ideally suited for group expedition dives offering exceptional underwater field of views to all occupants in a spacious transparent cabin. The pilot sits in the center rear seat and all the passengers have their seats especially arranged to maximize their views and ensure their comfort. The vessel has deep diving capability of up to 1000 meters and, due to its design, offers a relatively light weight multi-passenger underwater vehicle even with having such an extra-large acrylic cabin.
