AURORA-3C

The Aurora-3C submarine is a state-of-the-art, compact 3-person submersible designed to combine functionality, comfort, and innovation. Capable of diving to depths of 460 meters, this lightweight sub is optimized for easy storage and handling, making it ideal for ships and yachts with limited space. Its low height and single hoist point allow for simple launching and retrieval without the need for extensive infrastructure or large cranes. Featuring a flat undercarriage with built-in rubber blocks, the Aurora-3C can rest securely, simplifying both storage and transportation.

Superior Boarding and Interior Layout

The Aurora-3C boasts a class-leading boarding system designed for maximum safety and convenience. Synthetic teak lines the top deck, where foldable handrails on either side provide sturdy support during boarding. Passengers enter through an extra-large hatch, descending via a staircase to the spacious cabin inside the submersible. In addition, two interior steps seamlessly connect the cabin entry to the seating area. This innovative layout not only makes boarding easier but ensures maximum comfort without compromising on safety features.

Panoramic Visibility and Comfort

Designed with passenger experience in mind, the Aurora-3C offers an expansive interior and breathtaking views. The front window provides a panoramic, immersive underwater perspective for the two passengers, while an additional rear window in the entry hatch enhances visibility for the pilot. The luxurious, air-conditioned cabin features custom leather seating, complete with ergonomic armrests and high-tech, user-friendly control screens. The pilot’s controls are positioned behind the passenger seats to ensure an uninterrupted view of the marine environment, creating a truly engaging and comfortable underwater exploration experience.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Safe Operation

Equipped with the latest in subsea marine technology, the Aurora-3C is powered by pressure-balanced lithium-ion batteries, providing 14 hours of autonomy and a swift recharge time of just two hours. Its hydrodynamic design, coupled with six high-powered thrusters controlled by a single joystick, delivers unmatched agility and precise underwater movement. Built with inherent positive buoyancy, the submersible will naturally float to the surface if propulsion systems are turned off, ensuring intrinsic safety. Additionally, the life support system offers up to 96 hours of reserves for both oxygen and CO2 scrubbing, highlighting the craft's robust commitment to safety.
