RWATER BAR FOR SALE.
The Underwater Bar is an exciting new concept that will allow up to twelve guests and two crew members to view the underwater world in complete comfort and safety.
The complex provides a unique setting, and relaxed atmosphere, for guests to relax below the surface of the sea. This complex has a maximum diving depth of 70m (200 feet), and provides a panoramic view of the underwater world through large diameter viewports. Similar to existing tourist subsea technology, the Underwater Bar has been constructed with a large passenger-viewing gallery, large viewports and luxury seating. A cocktail bar provides food and refreshments to the guests during their dive. Powerful underwater lights outside the complex illuminate the seabed during night operations. While subsea cameras record the activities of the marine life, and screen the pictures onto an internal monitor for everyone to watch. The Underwater Bar is controlled from the pilot's control station, situated in the forward section of the main viewing gallery. From this position the crew are able to control all the main operations and equipment of the complex, and dive or surface as necessary. The normal crew size onboard the Underwater Bar will be two.
Guests diving in the Underwater Bar, require no previous experience or knowledge. All passenger compartments are maintained at one atmosphere condition at all times.

Dual DW Submersibles.
This exciting package of dual DW submersibles is now available for sale.
Each DW is a one-man tetherless submersible capable of working in depths
up to 2000ft.
* Length: 8.25 ft.
* Beam: 5.3 ft.
* Height: 5.6 ft.
* Weight in Air: 4700 Ibs.
* Operating Depth: 2000 fsw.
* Payload: 300 Ibs.variable

* Sonar: 675Khz Imagenix
* Hydraulics: 2200psi Hydro-Lek
* Manipulator: HLK-CRA6 6 function
Certification: Lloyd's Register of Shipping
Submersible pilots in the past have been constrained to only piloting the vehicle and monitoring his systems, which are critical tasks. DW operators can be alleviated from a number of these tasks due to technology, modernization and the inherent ergonomic design of this particular vehicle. In this design the pilot is seated upright. The view port is a 25" hemispherical dome. The pilot can enter desired depth and heading data into the PLC and Instruct the PLC to maintain that course, depth and heading. The PLC will continue to perform that function until cancelled by the pilot. The versatility of the PLC along with the ancillary computer also allows for other capabilities such as acoustic electronic communication of critical operational information with the surface vessel. The submersible is outfitted with a six-function manipulator. Additional hydraulic tooling is easily integrated such as water jets, suctions, and guillotines. An additional manipulator can be installed for specific dexterity requirements.

SeaMagine Submersible.
A dry one-atmosphere two-man submersible. The acrylic cabin opens as a clam-shell and allows easy entry and exit of occupants.

In surface mode, the flotation system permits the craft to float high above the water line with a freeboard of over 30 inches. When the surface flotation is fully deflated the craft remains slightly positively buoyant and will only submerge when driven downwards by its vertical thrusters. Underwater, the submersible remains practically horizontal at all times and does not roll nor pitch. The vessel is always positively buoyant, and should all propulsion stop and the craft will gently rise back to surface on its own. L.O.A.:4.53m. Width: 2.44m. Weight: 3 tons. Height :2.34m. Maximum depth: 300 feet. Propulsion duration: 6 hours. Reserve cabin power: 72hrs.
