The
ANZ 1000 submersible is recently constructed submersible
capable of depths of nearly 1,000 feet or 300 meters. This superbly
built sub meets strict American Bureau of Shipping +A1 design criteria
and would be very suitable for tourist operations, exploratory work
or scientific applications where diver depth is limiting.
The
ANZ 1000 originally started out as a standard submersible
design but has completed refitted to incorporate the unusual feature
of having two exceptionally large view ports for forward and aft providing
unprecented viewing for all 5 persons aboard.
Contact
Underwater Vehicles Inc. for details on this unique submersible. A test
dive can be arranged for serious inquiries.
