I know some of you folks almost pulled out your no-credit limit credit card for the Manta Ray UUV. But alas! It is not for consumers and also if it were for consumers, what’s the point of not being able to travel inside? So allow us to propose a practical […]
You know how action-adventure/sci-fi movies sometimes depict villains emerging from the depths of the oceans in an underwater sea vehicle that resembles sea creatures like a giant manta ray? Well, that kind of just materialized. Though, whether or not the users are villains is unclear.
It has been almost a month since the tragic loss of the Titanic wreckage tourism sub, Titan, in which five people perished in the depths of the cold North Atlantic Ocean. We heard the news on June 18 about a certain sub had lost contact with the mother vessel as […]
Save for the Cruise Sub series, the personal subs from U-boat Worx are mostly lonely, underwater affairs – unless the sub pilot is a friend. Imagine going ga-ga over odd-looking aquatic animals but no one to share right there and then. But with the new U-Boat Worx Nexus Series, you […]
DIY Perks, a DIY channel on YouTube that mostly DIY computer and computer-related peripherals like a suspended microphone and making a laptop out of a phone has gotten his hands wet to make a super cool remote control submarine.
You have heard of supercar and superbike, or maybe even superyacht. Now, meet their underwater equivalent, the Super Sub. Super Sub is the Dutch submersible manufacturer, U-Boat Worx’s latest and fastest private submarine yet.

A boat that can transform into a submarine is not new. So is a boat/sub hybrid designed to insert operatives in a covert operation, such as the JFD SEAL Carrier Swimmer Delivery Vehicle.
As cool as personal submarines are, you can’t share the experience with more than one person. If you are really, really rich and fond of sharing, the Triton Submarines DeepView 24 Submarine should be the sub you want.
It is an odd time to be launching anything, submarine included. But here it is, the new personal submarine from U-Boat Worx, Nemo. Clearly, this ain’t no Captain Nemo’s Nautilus, but I am sure the fictional undersea explorer will be proud. Though he would probably not approve a 2-seater sub.
This is Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s 11th Soryu-class diesel-electric attack submarine, the JS Ōryū, and it is the world’s first boat of its class to be powered by lithium-ion batteries. Yup. Li-ion. The same battery technology that is currently used in hundreds of thousands of phone across the world.
