Object of Desire: Into the Deep with Triton Subs

Designed for deep-sea poker or the world's deepest bar.

Maybe you’ve discovered the wonders beneath the surface with a few spectacular dives, or perhaps you’ve already descended into the deepest ocean in a submersible.

No matter how many times you venture, though, it’s always mind-blowing to uncover another world. Triton’s newest model, the 660/9 AVA, provides a remarkable view to everyone on board. The modular interior of the submersible means that eight guests can sit alongside each other in comfort (there’s integrated lighting, AC and a high-fidelity surround audio system) while enjoying 360° panoramic views of the captivating underwater life.

The configuration on board means that the sub can be used as a ‘venue,’ too — Triton suggests a casino setup for some deep-sea games of poker, or a bar for the world’s deepest martini. There’s even the option to use the sub as a wedding venue.

The 660/9 AVA is the world’s first free-form acrylic pressure hull submersible and it can reach depths of 660 ft. Plus, the design provides superior situational awareness for the pilot thanks to the wraparound view through the acrylic pressure hull. Necessary scheduled maintenance, rolling repairs and configurations can all be made at sea, too.
