Deep-C Submersible
Explore the depths of our pristine oceans, secure within your acrylic sphere. Fly into and through the depths, see and hear everything around you and use the robotic arm to retrieve an artifact from the ocean floor. Experience the incredible moment as you submerge below the surface, then enjoy the sights and sounds of the deep ocean. Be amazed at the vivid colours of fish and mammals as they playfully encircle your submersible.
Imagine a craft so safe and specialised that you can visit great depths in complete confidence. Being a “one atmosphere” craft means that passengers remain comfortable at all times in a sealed environment. A self propelled electric vessel that can carry two occupants in a one atmosphere acrylic cabin to depths of 1100 feet (330m) of sea water (www.seamagine.com).
The cabin opens as a clam shell and allows for easy entry and exit for the occupants. The sealed cabin is equipped with a full life support system where scrubbers remove the carbon dioxide, oxygen is replenished at a controlled flow, and the environment is monitored by various analyzers.

Deep-C dives for the BBC Discovery Channel with Richard Hammond.

This dive was to take Richard Hammond down into the Monterey Canyon which is the third largest underwater canyon in the world. Deep-C descended down the northern wall filming the variety of life that exists in total darkness at depths greater than 500ft. The upper reaches of the canyon act as an underwater sediment trap which then flows like a river down the canyon to be distributed on the ocean floor at 4-6,000 feet.
The canyon walls continue to widen due to land slides. Deep-C dived on an area where such landslides had recently occurred already silts had settled on the wall and marine life was abundant including the rare Giant Anemone, deep sea crabs, large pelagic Moon Jellyfish, sea slugs, jumbo prawns (the biggest I have ever seen), an unidentified bright blue eel and swarms of squid.
This dive will be on the Discovery Channel as part of Planet Earth. Deep-C's next movie assignment is for the History Channel at the end of September.
