Using the same technology proven in its existing C-Quester models, which can dive to depths of up to 100m (328 feet), Dutch luxury submarine manufacturer U-Boat Worx has announced a new line of exploration submersibles certified for diving to depths from 100 to 1,000m (328 to 3,280-feet). Named C-Explorers, the new line of diving machines are available in configurations for one to six passengers and are being marketed to scientists, research organizations, luxury superyacht owners, aquatic tourism ventures and private explorers.
U-boat Worx has commenced construction on a C-Explorer 2 rated to 200m (656 feet), which will be unveiled to the public during the Monaco Yacht Show, which runs from 22 to 25 September 2010. It will be able to remain submerged for up to 12 hours at a time and includes luxury fittings including an air-conditioning system, iPod stereo dock and champagne cooler.
The C-Explorer line from U-boat Worx will range in price from 280,000 euro (approx. US$358,377) for the one-seater model up to 840,000 euro (US$1.07 million) for the five-seater.
