Charter A Private, Commercial Diesel / Electric Submarine

Our Submarines Are Available For Worldwide Charter Along With Highly Skilled Crews.

Our research submarines are deployed directly from the pier with up to six personnel onboard (naval personnel, engineers, scientists or corporate planners) and arrive at the dive-site under independent power. Operations are conducted without the need of large and expensive DP support ships, reducing both cost and weather related delays associated with deployment and retrieval protocols. The RS Class submarines are capable of navigating over 400 nautical miles either on the surface or submerged in the snorkel mode.

Under aggressive conditions the submarines can dive to avoid turbulence altogether. With over 1600 man hours of life support, our submerged autonomy allows the RS Submarines to complete projects with little sensitivity to weather. The spacious pressure hull provides comfortable air conditioned and heated accommodations with a full galley, head and sleeping quarters as additional amenities.

Strategically placed through-hull penetrators provide ample power, both electrical and hydraulic as well as communication through-puts to the boats data loggers for nearly endless on-the-fly adjustments to sensors and other equipment for T&E projects.

Additional hull sections may be added to accommodate a myriad of custom requirements, including diver lock-out, NATO Rescue Hatch , diver support, ROV deployment, additional batteries, fuel cells and closed cycle diesel technologies or AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) systems. The RS Submarines are designed for many long range / large area applications including:
