NEW COMPACT & LIGHT 3 PERSON PERSONAL SUBMARINE FROM SEAMAGINE

THE AURORA-3C OFFERS THE LARGEST SPACIOUS
CABIN FOR ITS LIGHT WEIGHT CATEGORY




3 PERSON PERSONAL SUBMARINE WITH GREAT VIEW - DEPTH RATED TO 470 M - LOW HEIGHT AND UNDER 4 TON DRY WEIGHT

SEAmagine's new AURORA-3C personal submarine is a compact private submersible both in size and  in weight, that holds 1 pilot and 2 passengers, is ABS or DNV-GL Classed, and has a depth rating of up to 470m (1542ft). The configuration of this personal submersible provides the occupants an exceptional view, unobstructed by top hatches and side pontoons, and offers the largest spacious cabin space compared to any other private submarine in this low weight category.

EXCELLENT FIELD OF VIEWS

The AURORA-3C offers unobstructed views upwards, front, and side for the front passengers.  The AURORA-3C offers a full 180 Deg window and a larger inside diameter for more comfort, with the passengers sitting closer to the front window giving a far greater field of views in all direction.  All viewing angles from the front passengers are uninterrupted by the side pontoons, any front retainer ring, or top structures. Furthermore, the pilot in the center rear has an acrylic dome overhead giving a good view upwards and rearwards.




The private submersible's large entry hatch is configured as an acrylic transparent dome and provides the pilot additional upward and rear view.

SPACIOUS COMFORT & AIR CONDITIONING

The AURORA-3C mini submarine with its large 1.51 m inside diameter offers the most spacious cabin to its passengers compared to any other submersible in its weight category.This private submersible model has a proper closed circuit air-conditioning system to ensure comfort and reduce humidity levels.


SAFE & PRACTICAL SURFACE OPERATIONS

Surface operations are very important in any submersible operations and extensive attention is paid by SEAmagine on how to do this best based on over 12,000 dives the company has accumulated on its vessels around the world. SEAmagine has constantly driven the market for many years to address surface logistics, as opposed to leaving it as an after-thought as most other manufacturers do.

The AURORA-3C patented design answers 4 very important points for surface operation.

1.             How to best safely board passengers
2.             How to manage surface logistics
3.             How to offer solid tie-up configuration when docked.
4.             How to provide excellent surface towing capability when necessary.


The AURORA-3C tilts at surface only for docking and boarding of passengers to ensure higher safety and comfort. This approach provides a horizontal walking deck with a high freeboard and is equipped with pull-up handrails so that people have something robust to hold on to when boarding. The AURORA-3C has a large hatch to again increase the boarding comfort of passengers.


The AURORA-3C levels out at surface once people have boarded and the hatch is closed and is driven at surface horizontally to the dive site. 


SURFACE CONTROLS

All of SEAmagine’s submersibles as with the AURORA-3C have a hardwired external control allowing the operator to maneuver the vessel from the top deck without having to go inside the hull or have any hatch open. Once the submersible has been launched from the mother-ship, this external control station greatly simplifies operational logistics until the sub is tied off safely ready for boarding. The AURORA-3C’s surface deck is made more horizontal by the pilot as he stands by the hatch with handrails up to ensure safety.



SAFE DOCKING

The AURORA-3C pays special attention to have a proper docking configuration with a solid aft linear rail that provides simple geometry to match up a swim deck or tender. The aft rail allows for up down movement without the sub hanging up on the docked tender or platform.



SURFACE TOWING

For short distances, the submersibles are driven at surface but for instances when the dive site is far away from the mother ship, the submersibles are towed to the location. The ability to tow the submersibles is an essential contingency measure to ensure that it can always be brought back to the mother ship in adverse conditions.


The AURORA-3C has dedicated tow points and an incline such that when towed at surface the vessel is pulled out of the water, reducing drag and allows for a faster towing speed. The Aurora-3C is towed in reverse, thereby protecting the acrylic cabin from surface debris.

SMALL SIZE

The compact configuration allows this personal submarine to be stored or transported in a standard shipping container. Furthermore, the submarine's low height and even lower hoist point makes it ideal for setup in confined spaces without compromising on comfort, practicality, robustness, and performance.





CLOSING WORDS

The AURORA-3C with a 470m Depth Rating and a dry weight under 4000 Kg offers both the best field of views and the largest inside cabin diameter for its weight category.
