Three main types of submersibles have been used on recent NOAA Ocean Exploration-supported missions: human-occupied vehicles (HOVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

Underwater exploration is the exploration of any underwater environment, either by direct observation by the explorer, or by remote observation and measurement under the direction of the investigators. Systematic, targeted exploration is the most effective method to increase understanding of the ocean and other underwater regions, so they can ...

The ultimate tools for human exploration, only Triton makes submersibles certified to the deepest points of our oceans – the Abyssal and Hadal zones. Triton owners hold more world records than those of any other manufacturer.

May 31, 2023 · We find the seven best personal submarines on the market, ranging from towable UBoat Worx Nemo to the extreme deep-diving 'Limiting Factor".

Deep-sea exploration is the investigation of physical, chemical, and biological conditions on the ocean waters and sea bed beyond the continental shelf, for scientific or commercial purposes.

The TRITON 7500/3 is capable of diving to 1.4 miles deep and was designed to open up the world’s bathypelagic zones to human exploration. Until the introduction of Triton GullWing in 2020, it was the world’s deepest diving acrylic-hulled submersible.

Equipped with a full science suite and ultra-high definition filming capabilities, the TRITON 36000/2 is helping scientists and explorers uncover the mysteries of the most unexplored region on Earth – the ultra-deep.

Nov 15, 2021 · Alvin is a 3-person research submarine that takes scientists deep into the ocean. Since its launch in 1964, the Alvin has taken more than 2,500 scientists, engineers and observers to visit the floor of the deep sea.

HOVs are often used along with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to allow for maximum observation and coverage during dives. An archaeologist and pilot preparing for a dive in the Triton 1000 submersible to investigate sunken submarines from World War II.

Over the last few decades, engineers have developed submersible technologies capable of meeting the many challenges that the deep sea imposes upon explorers, allowing us to dive to depths where utter darkness, crushing pressures, and extreme cold temperatures prohibit SCUBA operations. Submersibles alone enable us to explore the abyssal depths.
