Table of Contents
Following the tragic loss of the Titan submersible last year, American company Triton submarines is attempting to reignite interest in deep-sea tourism with its innovative new vessel, the 660 AVA.
A New Era of underwater Exploration
Less than a year after the devastating implosion of the Titan during a voyage to the Titanic wreck - an incident that claimed the lives of five people – Triton is introducing a submersible designed with enhanced safety features and a unique aesthetic. The 660 AVA, boasting a double hull and a distinctive UFO-like shape, aims to offer a luxurious and secure underwater experience.
The submersible’s name, 660 AVA, derives from its maximum operating depth of 660 feet (approximately 200 meters). Triton hopes this new model will distance itself from the tragedy of the Titan and re-establish confidence in the viability of deep-sea tourism.
Luxury Beneath the Waves
The 660 AVA is designed to accommodate up to eight guests in addition to the pilot.Triton envisions a premium experience, offering amenities such as wine, dining, and even beauty treatments during the descent. Remarkably, the company is also marketing the submersible as a venue for weddings, allowing couples to exchange vows in the depths of the ocean.
The Shadow of the Titan
The launch of the 660 AVA comes as the examination into the Titan’s implosion continues. The incident raised serious questions about the safety regulations and construction standards governing privately operated submersibles. Reports detailed the backgrounds of those lost, including veteran deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman.
