CuraSub

The CuraSub is a multi-passenger submersible capable of descending to 1000 ft (305 m). And if you have a special request for a group of family or friends, please contact us by email. Equipped with a front 40″ dome window, hydraulic manipulator arms, and collecting equipment, it is suitable for both tourism and scientific research.

This has made it a reliable and high-grade vehicle for the submarine experiences we offer to tourists and local visitors and the scientific research carried out by renowned international institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution.

The “Curasub”, as our trusty submersible is called, was built by Nuytco Research Ltd., a company based in Vancouver, Canada that is widely regarded as an innovator in the field of manned underwater vehicles. The sub has been rated and classified for 1000 feet by the DNV GL (an international society headquartered in Høvik, Norway) and can carry multiple persons.

Safety is monitored at all times through radio communication with the surface support and the battery power is 100% redundant, as for air and oxygen. In addition, the cabin uses scrubbers, which extract the carbon dioxide (CO2) and provide the sub with a “life support window” of 96 hours. The sub is also equipped with the required sampling capabilities for research expeditions, which include two manipulator arms, a sampling pump, and a collecting basket.

Unlike SCUBA-diving, submarine-diving has no effects of pressure change on the body. For people with special medical conditions please contact us. All systems have been certified by Germanischer Lloyd’s, meeting and exceeding the highest international safety standards.
