Incredibly, 97 percent of the sea-floor is completely unexplored. When you transit the world’s waters on the surface in your yacht, thousands of people have been there before you. However as soon as you vent the ballast tanks on your luxury sub and dive below the surface, it is quite likely that you will experience a part of the ocean that no one on Earth has seen before. And you are doing it in perfect air-conditioned comfort and safety, quite possibly with a flute of excellent Champagne in one hand.

But is a submersible right for you? There is not much information available on yacht-based submersible ownership and operation, and as a result, there are many misconceptions. The purpose of this document is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about having a submersible on your vessel.

Having a submersible aboard your yacht can make you a hero with family and friends. Imagine being able to provide this very unique option of showing people the fabulous majesty of the undersea world. Letting them interact, up close and personally, with the myriad denizens of the deep. This is the finest type of adventure – safe, comfortable, fascinating and rare.

There is no need to hire additional crew for your vessel as we can cross-train your existing crew members to pilot, operate and maintain your luxury submersible. We also provide 24/7 technical support and the highest levels of service in the industry. If you see yourself at the helm, Triton staff can teach you to be a pilot in a few short weeks.

When you think of the hundreds of millions of dollars currently being spent to send people into low earth orbit, its remarkable that you, your family and your guests can directly experience the unexplored ocean that is, figuratively, right in our own back yard. And, you can do so with a form of transportation that is statistically, the safest in the world. Moreover you don’t even need a megayacht. Triton can provide you with a submarine and support vessel for less than $6 million.

The reality is that while a quality submersible is a complex piece of equipment, it is simple to operate and inexpensive to maintain, especially when compared with helicopters or other yacht-based amenities.

By the way, if you become a qualified deep submersible pilot, you will be one of about 400 world-wide. That is pretty exclusive company, equivalent to one in every 17.4 million people. Do you charter your yacht and do you find the market competitive? One of the best things you can do to increase market differentiation and make your yacht competitively superior is to place a Triton deep submersible aboard. You’ll be providing your charter guests an experience that very, very few others can offer.

How safe are Triton’s submersibles?

How comfortable is it inside the submarine?



Last year approximately 1 million passengers took dives aboard the world’s civilian submarine fleet, predominantly in one of 40 tourist submarines. In the 27 year operating history of the industry there has never been a single serious injury or fatality to any passenger. The industry has a perfect safety record and, civil submarines are statistically the safest form of transportation in the world today.





All Tritons are classed ✠ A1 Manned Submersible by the American Bureau of Shipping. Like FAA certification for aircraft, the ABS classification procedure is arduous, but results in unsurpassed safety. In fact, we tell our clients that by the time the paperwork weighs as much as the sub, the project is done (a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point).



3

Not only are all Tritons certified by ABS (and optionally by Cayman Island Shipping Registry) but they are aslo built by a group with over 350 years of collective experience on 80 subs – easily making us the most experienced and qualified civil sub builders and operators in the world today. In fact, that’s 10 times the experience of any one of our competitors.

The inside of one of our luxury submarines is air conditioned and temperature controlled. Regardless of the operating depth of the submarine, the interior of the passenger cabin remains at surface pressure, which is 1 atmosphere. As a result, passengers do not experience any of the pressure induced physiological effects experienced by SCUBA divers (e.g. bends, nitrogen narcosis, etc). A guest aboard a submarine can stay comfortably submerged for as long as desired, and the submarine can dive or surface at any rate. It is really quite amazing how many people misunderstand this important point and it is one of the key reasons that our submarines can be enjoyed by anyone from 5 to 95 years of age. In fact, any change in pressure is generally attributed to slight changes in temperature and are small enough to measured by a barometer (just a few milliabars of paressure).

Is a license required to operate the submarine? passenger cabin in order to maintain a level of 21% oxygen by volume. The carbon dioxide respired during breathing is scrubbed out of the air by a special granular chemical contained in the main scrubbing system. The air is also dehumidified and heated or cooled as necessary. A Triton sub carries enough oxygen to remain continually submerged for a minimum of 108 hours, which is typically a 12 hour mission time plus 96 hours of self-contained emergency life support.

The submarine has a sophisticated central air conditioning and life support system. Basically oxygen stored in high-pressure bottles outside the pressure hull is injected at low pressure into the



Triton will provide crew training for the owner and his selected crew. Ideally the crew participates in the last weeks of assembly and trials of the submarine so that they can get intimate, handson experience with the installation, operation and maintenance of critical systems. The crew will then have additional pilot and maintenance training during sea trials. We address this issue at greater length later in this document. We can also provide experienced submarine pilots/maintenance technicians for owners.

A private owner does not need a license to operate the submarine for leisure purposes but our in-house training program must be satisfactorily completed by the operator in order to take delivery of the submersible and to obtain insurance. Triton will issue a certificate to all personnel who complete our company training program.

How deep can the submarines dive?

Triton builds eleven different models that dive to either 1000 feet (305 meters), 3300 feet (1000 meters) or 5500 feet (1675 meters). The amount of time the sub can stay submerged during one dive (e.g. mission time) is typically 10-12 hours with optional longer durations.



Triton is also developing the world’s deepest diving multi-passenger deep submersible, the only sub that will be active and repeatedly capable of diving below 7,500 meters: the Triton 36,000/3. It will take people to the deepest spot in the ocean, The Challenger Deep at 35,800 feet (10,912 m). In human history, only three people have been this deep. You can order a Triton 36,000/3 today and become one of the select few who possess the world’s deepest diving multi-passenger submersible.

What about crew training?

How does the air stay fresh inside the sub?





What is the difference between a submarine and submersible?

How many crew members are necessary to operate a Triton?





We use the terms interchangeably to refer to any non-tethered, free-swimming manned undersea vehicle, but there are some differences. A submarine is a military or civilian vessel, generally cigar-shaped, capable of traversing long distances underwater at significant speeds. Submarines are capable of regenerating their own power and can stay submerged for days at a time. A submersible is typically a battery-powered undersea vehicle capable of carrying small crews short distances underwater, primarily for observation. They have a finite amount of energy available from storage batteries, which limits both range and endurance. Submersibles are however, typically capable of diving much deeper than military or civilian submarines.

Do I need a megayacht to own and operate a Triton?

Absolutely not. If your base of operations is relatively close to where you want to dive and the weather and sea conditions are generally good, you could tow your Triton out to your dive site at a relatively low speed. We also offer a line of support vessels, starting at approximately $3 million, that are specially designed to transport, launch and recover Tritons. The smallest of these is a highly efficient 65-foot (20 m) wave-piercing catamaran that can dynamically launch and recover a Triton in relatively heavy seas. More information is available in the Support Vessel section.



In addition, U.S. Submarines builds a line of diesel electric submarines designed for surface transit out to dive sites. The minimum surface range is approximately 400 nm while the large luxury subs have trans-Atlantic range.

How difficult is it to integrate a sub on a yacht?

5



Tritons have relatively small deck footprints as they range in length from 10.5 feet (3.2 m) to 13.5 feet (4.4 m). It is generally not difficult to find space aboard. However the subs are heavy for their size as they must weigh as much as the water they displace to be neutrally buoyant when submerged so the lifting gear must be robust enough to launch and retrieve the sub.



Support equipment includes battery chargers, an air compressor and oxygen storage bottles as well as containers of scrubbing compound. However, these items are not large and are easily integrated into mechanical spaces with on-deck connections adjacent to the submarine’s storage location.

One existing yacht crew member can be trained to both pilot and maintain the sub. However it is prudent to train at least two crew members so someone is always available in the event of crew turnover or vacation. Oftentimes we train an owner to pilot the sub and one or two crew members to pilot and maintain the sub or to just maintain the sub. Our entire comprehensive training program, including access to the world’s only deep submersible simulator, is offered free of charge to Triton customers.

Number of passengers: Tritons are now available in 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- or 8-passenger configurations. In many cases, this will be decided by the lifting capacity and/or available deck space on your vessel (see #2). If weight is is not an issue, consider whether or not you yourself intend to pilot your sub. If so, you will be able to share the experience with another person in one of our 2-passenger models. They are our smallest and lightest subs. If you would prefer to have your crew pilot the sub (or at least to have that option) while still being able to dive with your guests, a 3-passenger (pilot plus two guests) model or one of our larger 4-, 6- or 8-passenger subs may be just the ticket. Launch and Recovery Requirements: There is a significant difference in the weight of a 3-passenger versus a 2-passenger submersible. Many vessels are equipped to lift tenders, toys and equipment up to about 7,000 pounds, which is enough to launch and recover a Triton 1000/2, but would require significant alteration in order to safely launch and recover the 8-ton load of a Triton 3300/3. The larger subs are, of course, heavier. We can help you determine what the current launch and recovery capabilities of your vessel are while also providing details on what might be necessary to enhance your system to accommodate a larger sub.

Mission Profile: There are so many amazing things to see in the ocean that it may be hard to prioritize everything you want to do. The good news is, with a Triton submersible you are guaranteed to be able to see things that no human has ever seen before; on almost every dive! Here are some unique dive experiences sure to amaze and inspire you and your guests:

c. Shark Diving – Triton’s pilots have been on tens of thousands of dives and, without fail, the passenger rating of a dive is always a 10+ when sharks are present. With a Triton you can encounter rare deep water sharks, like the massive sixgill, Goblin and Megamouth sharks like those filmed in Japan using a Triton 3300/3.

array of life. Some believe these vents are the secret to understanding how life evolved and developed on Earth. At a minimum, they are clear proof that not all life on Earth is photosynthesis based and there are animals that live and indeed thrive on the chemicals found on these unique and fascinating underwater features.

a. Reef Diving – The most magnificent dive spots on the planet tend to be coral reefs. Most display absolutely stunning diversity of marine life immersed in crystal clear waters. It is a tragedy that SCUBA divers are so depth limited, because it is once you go beyond 100 meters that things get really interesting. SCUBA divers are fond of saying there is nothing on a deep reef to see. That’s because they’ve never been there. With a Triton you’ll have a unique opportunity to see huge barrel sponges, photoluminescent creatures of all types, rare invertebrates, unique deep water fish and massive sixgill sharks.

d. Wreck Diving – Dive on known wrecks or be the first to see the final resting place of vessels that lie beyond the reach of SCUBA divers. Go a step further and use your Triton as the basis of a salvage program. In 2013 a Triton was used on a treasure salvage operation in Alaska.

g. Seamounts – Underwater mountains rising thousands of feet from the sea floor. Scientists estimate that there are over 100,000 unexplored seamounts in the ocean. The few studied have had stunning bio-diversity with up to 50 percent of the species being completely unique to each location.

e. Ice Diving – Recently Triton Submarine Charters provided two submarines for the first ever dives in Antactica. With appropriate precautions, Tritons are well suited for diving in very cold waters. The fact Triton was the first ever company to dive submersibles on the continent of Antarctica is an excellent example of just how much of our ocean remains to be explored.

These are just a few of the amazing adventures that await you in the deep ocean. Spending a little time thinking about your “wish list” of dive sites will help you make a better decision about the depth rating of your submersible.

b. Attracting Unusual Species – In late Summer 2012 a Triton 3300/3 was used to attract and film the giant squid. This unprecedented event marks the first time in human history that man has set eyes on the giant squid underwater. The Triton was able to film this encounter for 18 minutes as the squid descended from 2,000 feet to over 2,700 feet.

f. Hydrothermal Vents – Underwater geysers that constantly spew hot, mineral rich water into the ocean creating an amazing underwater eruption. Vents are typically very deep, spectacular to observe, and often teaming with a fascinating

The world’s deepest diving multi-passenger submersible The deep ocean is no place for compromise and no other group in the world today could design an extreme depth multi-passenger submersible like the Triton 36000/3. At the bottom of the ocean in the Challenger Deep the pressure is 16,000 pounds per square inch. The passenger compartment is under an enormous 170,000 tons of hydrostatic force from the weight of nearly seven miles of ocean depth. Yet the properties of the high-pressure glass actually allow it to get stronger under compressive load when no metallic interface exists. For the first time in history an extreme depth submersible has a completely transparent passenger compartment that allows uninterrupted viewing. In comparison, the handful of subs that dive to 25,000 feet or less have massive steel or titanium passenger compartments and cost five times more than our 36000/3 for about two-thirds the depth capability.

23

Only one team in the world has the depth of knowledge required to reach full ocean depth in a transparent hull.

An opportunity exists to reach the deepest spot in the ocean, the 35,800 ft Challenger Deep, forever changing mankind’s relationship with the ocean. Since the beginning of time, an incredible wealth of knowledge has been locked away within the abyss. For the first time in history, man will be able to repeatedly explore the depths of our oceans. What secrets will be uncovered seven miles below the surface? Be a part of making history by conquering earth’s final frontier with the Triton 36000/3. And pay for your Triton 36000/3 by providing adventure dives to the bottom of the ocean for $250,000 per seat.

There are a myriad of options available to enhance the capabilities and performance of your submersible. Every Triton model is delivered with a robust package of standard features but most buyers elect to add options based on their individual preferences. We will discuss two types of optional equipment: The standard and most common pieces of equipment that we recommend for most clients, and specialized instrumentation and equipment used principally for scientific investigation and commercial work. Recommended While the following equipment is considered optional we have found that these particular instruments have repeatedly demonstrated their value regardless of the mission profile. From operating in crystal clear waters of the tropics to zero visibility in Alaska, to the darkest depths found mid-ocean to the icy cold Antarctic Peninsula, this equipment is exactly what any serious submersible team would need to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for both the submersible operators, guests and the surface control group. As part of the process of recommending specific models and manufacturers of optional equipment for a Triton submersible, we use the following criteria: 1. Features 2. Specifications

3. Price 4. Reputation

5. Experience

When researching the optional equipment for a Triton submersible, the first thing we do is to compare the features and specifications of comparable products from a variety of manufacturers. Then we compare the price of the various offerings and weigh this against the company reputation in the industry. Finally, our personal experience with these products, when applicable, is taken into consideration.

These are the primary criteria that need to be met in any safe and productive diving environment: Dive Site Evaluation Plan your dive and dive your plan. It’s critical to know the depth of the sea floor in your immediate operating area and to clearly understand exactly where you will be operating. Communication Sub to sub (if applicable), sub to surface. Clear and consistent communication is imperative for safety. Location Sub to bottom, sub to target, sub to surface control. All of these spatial coordinates need to be known as accurately as possible. With these criteria in mind, the navigation package on a Triton Submersible has been designed to be accurate, reliable and easy to use in the most demanding conditions encountered.

The Optional Items in the Navigation Package include: 1. Sonar 2. USBL (Ultra Short Base Line Tracking System) 3. Full Spectrum Chirp Technology Sounder/GPS (standard on some models) 4. DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) SONAR is an acronym for Sound, Navigation and Ranging. Sonar is used to detect and identify sea floor objects. Sonar systems have made incredible advances during the last decade and we are fortunate to have a wide selection of highly capable systems available. The basic unit we recommend is a forward-looking high-resolution, 130-degree, ethernet equipped unit. These sonars are used worldwide and provide excellent target resolution in virtually all conditions. USBL (Ultra Short Base Line) tracking systems use two-way acoustic communication to calculate the relative position of a surface vessel-mounted transceiver to an underwater vehicle-mounted beacon.

The ability to track a submersible underwater, while not required by ABS, the USCG nor the CISR Registry, is without question a desirable and important safety feature for any deep diving manned submersible. USBL tracking systems calculate the relative position of a subsea object to the surface vessel transceiver by interfacing acoustic range and bearing data to attitude (motion), heading and GPS sensors. Since the accuracy of the position information being obtained by a USBL system is based on knowing the exact relative position of the surface vessel transceiver to the beacon on the object being tracked underwater at the time acoustic signals are being transmitted and received, the quality of the motion and heading sensors used on the surface vessel is critically important. With GPS interfaced into the surface computer, the exact position (latitude and longitude) and depth of the submersible is continuously updated. If the optional “modem” package is included, two-way communication via text messaging is possible. Triton’s operating system includes “pre-written” text messages the pilot can easily send to the surface, reducing the need for excessive typing. This text can also include NMEA sentences carrying position information from the surface to the submersible’s GPS computer, providing real time navigational plotting that can be used by the pilot. There are several USBL systems on the market today that your Triton rep will be happy to discuss in detail. Full Spectrum Chirp Technology Color Sounder/GPS equipment is normally found only on commercial fishing vessels but Triton has developed it into a comprehensive navigational tool. With a powerful

31

1.5 Kilowatt transducer designed specifically for Triton, the pilot can get a virtual representation of the bottom in over 5,000 feet of water. Knowing altitude off bottom as well as seeing the contour itself is crucial to safe navigation. Being able to see fish, obstacles, ship wrecks and other submersibles beneath are also clear advantages. The unit also acts as a sophisticated GPS plotter. From the surface the Pilot can maneuver the sub to pre-defined waypoints on a chart, cross- reference with his data from the sounder and begin the dive with confidence. The USBL “modem” can also be integrated into this unit so that the position on the chart can be updated automatically via surface communication giving the pilot real time chart updates. Very detailed surface and sub-sea charts with worldwide coverage are easily loaded via SD cards.

A Doppler Velocity Log provides a variety of instrumentation capabilities in a single package including velocity (both vertical and horizontal) heading, depth, altitude, temperature and even current speed and direction. A DVL measures speed relative to the bottom provided the submersible is in water depth within the capability of the unit.

Additional Recommended Options: 1. Manipulator 2. Submersible Mounted Mini ROV 3. Hydrophone A Manipulator will allow you to pick up objects while you are diving. The pilot can collect samples, set video or scientific equipment on the bottom, hold onto an outcrop to remain stationary or sever lines or other entanglement hazards.

If you equip your Triton with a manipulator which will include the valvepack, HPU and controller, you may also want to have a basket installed to hold objects to take to the surface. There are a number of companies that manufacture manipulators and their costs can vary tremendously based on the lifting capacity, size, precision, degrees of movement and overall quality. For most recreational users, a simple manipulator is an inexpensive and worthwhile addition to the submersible. Moreover, we also have available very high quality advanced 7-function spatially correspondent manipulators where the operator’s hand is placed in a moveable glove and the manipulator mimics the operator’s movement. Triton submersibles are all built to ABS standards which require the manipulator system to be capable of being jettisoned, which requires both a guillotine for hoses & cabling and a bracket that can be ejected.

Submersible Mounted Mini ROV System (small deck-mounted remotely operated vehicle) offers numerous advantages. With recent improvements to mini remote vehicles and their tether management systems (TMS) the reality of launching and controlling an ROV from the sub has arrived. Shipwreck and cave penetrations for reconnaissance and videography have shown that sub mounted ROVs can be highly useful. Hydrophone technology enables you to hear ambient ocean sounds. Triton has worked closely with a well known manufacturer to provide our submersibles with a sophisticated yet affordable and easy to use system to allow the crew to listen and record ambient ocean sounds both above and below the sub. This ability can easily be used for scientific purposes as well as the pure enjoyment of listening to the ocean. This becomes especially interesting in the presence of ocean mammals.

SPECIALIZED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Triton’s staff has made thousands of deep submersible dives to do both commercial work and marine science underwater. Our experience makes us uniquely qualified to adapt a Triton to virtually any underwater task. When we designed the Tritons we made them uniquely versatile by building in significant payloads, extra communications wiring (electrical, Ethernet, fiber optic, serial), surplus electrical power and additional hydraulic power as well as the through-hull penetrators to power, control and monitor a wide array of equipment.

In addition to doing useful work underwater, Tritons are uniquely equipped for science. Science often consists of observing places and events. The Triton sub allows scientists a front row seat with an unobstructed view of the ocean floor and water column, and it gets its occupants closer, to the sea floor below or reef in front, than any other submersible. Its variable ballast tank makes it possible to maintain any depth without using power once the trim is dialed in, so the sub is completely quiet. This proved instrumental when the Triton, for the first time in human history, found the giant squid in deep water near Japan in 2012. Because two scientists can be on-site at the same time, experiments can be modified in real time with the cooperation of both experimenters. At right is a partial list of tools and devices that can be fitted to a Triton. Triton can develop specialty tools to suit virtually any subsea task so if the item you are interested in is not on the list, please ask us directly.

parameters and higher factors of safety. The only Triton requiring a man-rated system is the Triton 36000/3 Full Ocean Depth. Proximity to the storage location of your submersible and the desired launch and recovery location (over the side or over the stern) must be considered. An initial review of your vessel’s general arrangement drawing followed by an on-site survey by a Triton engineer are important steps to determine the optimal LARS configuration for your vessel and mission. The following are the most common types of launch and recovery systems:

With appropriate planning, operating a submersible on-board a yacht will be a simple and rewarding experience. Things to consider include launch and recovery system options, maintenance, staffing, support equipment, storage and spare parts.

Launch & Recovery Systems and Methods Probably the most important thing to consider in the yacht integration process, the launch and recovery system (LARS) is critical to ensuring a safe, efficient and enjoyable operation. The LARS system you select will be based on your vessel’s size (larger vessels often have many more options), arrangement, existing equipment, build status (existing, refit in progress, new build etc.) as well as your mission profile’s requisite operating window. For instance, if you intend to work with scientists or filmmakers, you may need to provide a more robust LARS system capable of being used in a wide variety of conditions. It is also important to determine if you will require a man-rated LARS. Man-rated (rated to launch and recover a submersible with passengers and crew aboard) systems are subject to much more strigent operational

Fixed Boom Crane The most common LARS because of its cost effectiveness and flexibility in loading a variety of equipment, the fixed boom crane is simple to operate and maintain. It is primarily suited for fair weather use as excessive pendulum action is a hazardous in elevated sea states. Knuckle Boom Crane This type of lifting system, while similar to the fixed boom crane, is able to operate in a slightly wider range of conditions (still largely fair weather) because of the ability of the boom to articulate at one or more joints and therefore to get closer to the sub. This helps to reduce but does not eliminate the challenge of pendulum motion in anything but a calm sea state. Gantry A gantry system is often used to launch and recover from a garage on the side of a vessel or between an open hull at the stern of a vessel. Typically ceiling/overhead mounted, a gantry system is a moving rail system that travels in and out carrying the load with it. Some gantries utilize a fixed rail system with a center carousel that travels along the rails. One particularly desirable feature of gantry is

that in side garage applications, it is hidden when not in use. Like fixed and knuckle boom cranes, a gantry LARS is best suited to fair weather operation.

installed on the stern. Davits can be used in a wide variety of sea states on vessels equipped for dynamic launch and recovery (see discussion at the end of this section).

Platform Platform lift systems offer highly convenient launch and recovery. A hydraulically driven platform typically at the rear of the vessel, is lowered into the water with the submersible. Recovery is accomplished by steering the submersible onto the platform and then raising it. In most cases, the submersible will remain on the platform for storage making launch and recovery quick and easy. Keep in mind, that this type of LARS is typically suited only for operation in optimal conditions.

A-Frame As the name implies, an A-frame LARS is an A-shaped, box construction lifting system that is installed via pivoting hydraulic cylinders on the port and starboard sides on the stern of a vessel. Hydraulic cylinders allow an A-frame to move outward over the ocean during launch and towards the bow (bringing the submersible back over the stern) during recovery. With the addition of control lines to stabilize the submersible’s motion in both the pitch and roll axes it is possible to launch and recover in rough conditions. In very rough seas, an A-Frame LARS can further extend the operational window when used dynamically (see below).

Floodable Compartment A floodable compartment is an option available on some very large yachts. It is a garage that opens to the ocean and is flooded ahead of the doors opening and the submersible is floated out. At the conclusion of diving, the submersible is driven back into the garage, the doors are closed and the water is pumped out leaving the garage dry. This system is also extremely convenient as the submersible is launched and recovered in a controlled environment and is also stored where recovered making maintenance and charging simple. Davits Davit systems (often used for life rafts) make use of two pivoting arms working together (systems for lighter equipment often use a single arm). The arms pivot outward moving the submersible away from the vessel and the sub is then lowered to the water on cables. Davits are normally found on the sides of vessels but can also be

If you require a large operational window, a davit or A-frame system is the best option but these are generally only possible on expedition, commercial or scientific type vessels. These systems can be fitted with custom capture devices that interface with your Triton. The capture system can be equipped with motion dampening equipment (internal braking) that virtually eliminates swaying in rough seas. In addition, appropriately equipped vessels can perform dynamic launch and recovery, which allows for operation in the widest possible sea state. Dynamic launch and recovery takes place while the support vessel is underway (at 1-2 knots) headed into the sea eliminating much of the lateral movement caused by wave action when a vessel is stationary. Because the LARS and crew will deal only with pitch, launch and recovery is easier and safer. (continued)

In order to maintaint a speed of 1-2 knots and to avoid “dragging” the submersible at higher or uneven speeds, the vessel must be equipped with controllable pitch propellers (CPP), slip clutches on the main engines or an azmuthing bow thruster. Constant tension (CT) winches are typically used on the tag lines to minimize lateral movement. Keep in mind that conditions requiring dynamic launch and recovery might make opening the hatch at the surface precarious. Therefore, the submersible may need to be launched and recovered with the pilot and guests inside adding the requirement for a man-rated LARS. A man-rated LARS requires redundant hydraulic sources and higher factors of safety by the classification agency. As you can see, there are several ways to launch and recover your Triton. However, chances are your choices will be limited to one or two of these systems based on your vessel’s arrangement. This may not be the case if your vessel is over 200 feet and you are willing to undergo a refit to accommodate your Triton or its early enough in your vessels design and/ or construction for significant structural modifications to be possible. Remember to engage Triton as early as possible so that we can help you determine the best LARS for your vessel and mission objectives.

Garage and Storage Options It is preferable to store your Triton in a covered area to simplify maintenance and optimize the life of equipment on your Triton. Your Triton can be stored in a side/rear garage or on deck with a retracting clamshell enclosure. It is important to have at least 1 meter of space around the sub and ideally the same distance above for opening the hatch. Your support equipment and charge panel should be as close to the garage

35

as possible (preferably in the garage). Spares should be readily accessible but need not be in the garage. If your Triton will be stored in any enclosed space, hydrogen and oxygen level monitoring is required in addition to appropriate ventilation systems. A quick note on deck hangars: If your deck hanger is low enough to be affected by a following sea, a system to divert water away from the hangar should be considered.

Maintenance Many misconceptions exist about maintaining a submersible. The reality is that a well-built sub, while complex, is remarkably easy and inexpensive to maintain. Maintenance falls into two main categories: Daily Operations After each day of diving, your crew will need to wash down your Triton with fresh water, change your CO2 scrubbing compound, charge your batteries, charge your HP air system and depending on how much diving you did, charge your O2 bottles. The good news is that a well-trained crew can have the sub stowed and on charge in about 15 minutes. Charging the batteries can take some time but is simple to monitor from a local or remote monitoring panel. Annual Survey In order to maintain class, ABS requires an Annual Survey on a submersible. This can be completed on-site or at Triton’s facility. Annual Surveys are relatively simple and inexpensive and take about two weeks. Every three years, ABS requires that your Triton undergo a special periodical survey. This is essentially an expanded version of the Annual Survey involving additional electrical and hydrostatic testing.

Crew A well-trained crew will make operating your Triton safer, more enjoyable and simpler. The good news is you won’t need to take on any additional crew to operate your submersible. Triton’s staff will train your existing crew members to professionally execute all of the tasks associated with owning a submersible including how to safely pilot the sub, coordinate dive operations from the surface (e.g. communicating with sub, etc.), launch the sub and recover recover it quickly and safely, and maintain your submersible Crew turnover is an issue in the management of every yacht. Triton’s industry leading training program is offered year round so if your Triton trained crew members are replaced, we can train new crew quickly and easily. Triton can also provide professionally trained crew on either a short or long term basis, if necessary.

Support Equipment The equipment required on your vessel to support submersible operations will vary depending on how your vessel is currently outfitted. For example, if you already have a well equipped dive locker, you may and probably will also have the high pressure air compressors required to charge the air systems of your Triton. We strongly recommend a survey of your vessel’s existing systems to determine what equipment is required to operate, charge and maintain your submersible. A typical support equipment configuration will include: • High-pressure (HP) air compressor with breathing quality filtration • Battery chargers

• HP oxygen storage cylinders • Oxygen booster pump (to transfer oxygen from vendor supply tanks to your vessels storage and then again for transfer to the submersible) • Vacuum pump with dry nitrogen backfill system • Miscellaneous spare parts and consumables

Spare Parts Our philosophy regarding spare parts and consumables is it is better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Our submersibles are inherently reliable, simple to operate and easy to maintain. However, unexpected things can and do happen and an appropriate inventory of spare parts and consumables will help to ensure your submersible is always ready to dive when required. In the event the spare parts inventory doesn’t contain the specific item you need, Triton Submarines offers our clients 24/7 technical support and most items can and will be provided within days of a request being received. However, there are some long lead items, which we strongly urge our clients to purchase at the time orders for these components are being made for the main build.

Submersible operations conducted on a well-equipped support vessel by a well-trained crew should be safe, simple and enjoyable. The following is a brief summary of a typical day of submersible operation: 1. Determining mission profile The mission profile could be as simple as doing a recreational dive in shallow water at a known site. More complex dive profiles could involve scientific equipment, exploration, submersible systems checks, etc. Regardless of the complexity of the dive, it is important that all of the crewmembers participating in the dive are present at a pre-dive briefing. The briefing will cover dive schedule, crew and passenger changes, break schedules, dive profile (depth, time, site review, etc.), launch and recovery methods (static or dynamic, etc), submersible preparation, weather conditions and any other details related to the planned dive(s). The weights of crew, passengers and additional equipment are also recorded to allow the ballast to be adjusted during the pre-dive check. The pre-dive briefing could be just a few minutes long for a recreational dive or much longer for a complex scientific dive, deep dive or submersible systems check out dive, etc. 2. Pre-dive check Prior to diving, the submersible crew will go through a number of checklists to ensure the submersible is ready for safe operation. Under normal conditions, the check is generally completed within 30 minutes. Checklists include water alarms, seals, electronics, navigation systems, air systems, life support 37

systems, air conditioning, emergency systems and payload verification (crew, passengers, additional equipment, and ballast). 3. Launch The surface officer (SO) runs the dive operation from launch to recovery and is responsible for ensuring that certain items are completed prior to launch. These include completion of the pre-dive briefing and pre-dive check, ensuring that all requisite stations are manned and all equipment is operational, ensuring the submersible is positioned and ready for launch, the dive area is clear of vessel traffic and the conditions are suited to safe operation. The SO will then instruct the LARS operator as the submersible is lifted from the deck of the support vessel and placed into the water. The launch process will vary depending on the type of LARS utilized, weather conditions and the mission profile but is typically completed within ten to fifteen minutes. 4. Pilot and passenger boarding Once the submersible has been launched, the pilot will board and run through a series of checks to make sure the sub can be detached from the LARS. The pilot will then request that the passengers board (pilot and SO communicate via VHF radio on the surface). Passengers are transferred to the back deck of the submersible via a RIB (or jet ski, tender or other small watercraft). A crew member will help them enter the submersible through the hatch and will secure the hatch once they are inside. The pilot can then commence the dive after giving the passengers a short briefing.

5. Diving After the passengers have boarded, the hatch is secure and the briefing is completed, the pilot will request permission to dive or “vent” from the surface officer. During the dive, the pilot and SO remain in communication a mimum of every 15 minutes via an underwater telephone (UWT). A typical recreational dive lasts an hour or two and often involves diving on reefs, shipwrecks and with various marine species. When the dive is complete and the pilot is ready to surface, he will communicate with the SO to make sure the surface is clear.

6. Crew and passenger changeovers Once at the surface, the submersible will either be recovered or passengers exchanged. In either case, the chase vessel will approach the stern and a crewmember will transfer to the back deck of the submersible and open the hatch. The current passengers will disembark and board the chase vessel and the new passengers will climb into the submersible. Pilots can also be rotated at this time on longer diving days. Several dives can be made each day with passenger and/or pilot swaps between, but in some cases, the sub may only make one dive prior to recovery. Prior to recovery, the passengers are typically transferred to the chase vessel and the pilot will position the submersible for recovery. This may require a short tow from the chase vessel or repositioning of the support vessel depending on currents and the dive profile.

7. Recovery For recreational diving, almost all recoveries will be “static” meaning that the support vessel is stationary during recovery. For safe operation of most basic LARS, a relatively calm condition is preferred. Once the submersible is in position, the chase vessel will approach and a crewmember will board. He will then secure the sub’s lifting bridle to the LARS and open the hatch for the pilot to exit. The pilot and crewmember then board the chase vessel and the submersible is lifted onto the support vessel and placed in its garage or storage location. If diving is being conducted in an elevated sea state, dynamic recovery may be necessary. This method of recovery is not typically utilized during recreational diving operations.

8. Charging and maintenance Once on deck, the submersible is secured and rinsed with fresh water. HP air and O2 are replenished, the used CO2 scrubbing compound is removed and the batteries are put on charge. Battery charging is monitored and logged every hour by a technician.

As with any process, the right equipment, the right training and adequate preparation will make operating a submersible a pleasure. From the initial briefing to charging and maintenance, operating your Triton will in all likelihood be one of the most rewarding activities you engage in aboard your yacht.

There are a number of important criteria useful in evaluating passenger submarine design, but the first question asked by a prospective customer is “Are they safe?” The answer is “yes, very”. Passenger submarines are designed and built under the supervision of, and in accordance with the regulations and rules established by, one of the major classification societies. The three largest classification organizations are the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyds Register of Shipping and Germanischer Lloyd. The ABS has the most experience of the three in submarine certification, having classified most of the manned submersibles built in the last several decades. It is pertinent to note that there has never been a serious injury or fatality to any passenger stemming from the operation of an ABS certified commercial or passenger submersible. Involvement by the classification society begins with the approval of the initial design, evolves to a survey process during construction and continues with annual inspections of the submarine throughout its life. Submersibles that meet the stringent requirements of the ABS are awarded “class” and are listed in the Record of the Society as ✠ A1 Manned Submersible, or in the case of Germanischer Lloyd ✠100A. The ✠ is deleted if the craft was not constructed under society supervision but was later surveyed and awarded classification. In order to retain classification, which is important as it would be virtually impossible to operate and insure a submersible without the A1 or 100A rating, the submersible undergoes a thorough annual survey that includes a detailed inspection of major systems. The Annual is a simple

39

process that will require about two weeks to complete. During the Annual, the following are completed: • Inspection of pressure boundaries and sealing surfaces • Test of communication systems, electrical systems and emergency equipment • Inspection and recalibration of gauges • Inspection of emergency supplies including fire extinguishers • Dive and maintenance log inspection • A check out dive to full rated depth is also completed with an ABS surveyor present during which the ballasting and positioning systems are tested/demonstrated. Additionally, every three years the submarine undergoes an even more stringent survey. The Special Periodical Survey includes all of items in an annual in addition to the following: • Valve inspection (including threads) • All ballast, air and oxygen tanks and tubing are visually inspected • Tubing for air and O2 systems is pressure tested • Variable ballast tank is hydrostatically tested to 1.25x operating pressure • Air and oxygen tanks are hydrostatically tested to 1.25x operating pressure • Removal and inspection of through hull penetrators • Pressure hull is thoroughly examined • Electrical cables are inspected for deterioration • A ground fault detection test is completed • Visual inspection of frame

If, and only if, the submarine is to be used commercially (e.g. carrying 6+ passengers for hire) in the United States the U.S. Coast Guard will approve the submarine design and survey construction, actually duplicating work done by the ABS. The Coast Guard also stipulates requirements for the experience levels and licensing of the submersible crew, insures the existence of adequate documentation which includes operation and maintenance manuals, applicable logs, records and checklists, etc., and assures compliance with a substantial body of safety and other regulations. Again, this is only pertinent for commercial passenger carrying operations and would not apply to a privately owned submersible. Assurance of submersible safety begins with the design process. The cost to design a contemporary passenger submarine that might cost $2.5 million to build approaches, and in some cases exceeds $300,000. Literally thousands of man hours are required and hundreds of drawings are generated. Detailed calculations are required in such areas as pressure vessel stress analysis, life support systems, electrical load requirements and buoyancy and stability analysis. All materials to be used during construction must be certified and specified beforehand. The design specifications generally follow the requirements of such regulations as proposed in Rules for Building and Classing Underwater Systems and Vehicles by the ABS, the American Society of Mechanical Engineer’s Safety Standard for Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy as well as various bulletins of the Welding Research Council. When the design is finally complete it will be exhaustively analyzed by the engineers of the regulatory agency and classification society, and

41

those plans that are satisfactory will be approved. Once all plans have been authorized, construction may commence. Society surveyors are on hand for the construction process. They assure the quality of the materials and the construction techniques. They monitor the welding process, implement and review extensive non destructive testing procedures, and they witness the hydrostatic testing of piping and gas storage systems and ballast tanks. Inspectors also verify the installation and testing of mechanical and electrical systems, check safety devices and examine critical dimensions. Subsequent to pressure hull completion a hydrostatic submergence or “drop” test with strain gauges is carried out to 1.25 times the design depth. Requirements for submarine design classification include many redundant systems that can be used in the event of a primary system malfunction. These include ballast/trim, life support, propulsion and electrical systems. The ballast/trim systems of the submarine control the craft’s buoyancy and insure its stability under a broad range of conditions. The ballast system controls the submarine’s ability to descend underwater, maintain depth or rise to the surface, while the trim system controls weight distribution along the length of the craft, or its angle of incline in reference to the horizontal. Ballast and trim systems are composed of three components; 1) the “hard” or variable ballast tanks which are externally mounted and use high pressure air to control buoyancy and adjust for variations in weight distribution (trim) in the submarine. Hard ballast can also be pumped dry by an electric ballast pump. 2) Soft ballast tanks are non-pressurized and are also externally mounted and are used primarily to provide additional freeboard and stability while the submarine is on the surface. They are vented through the bottom to the water, which is

displaced by the introduction of high pressure air. In an emergency the soft tanks can be “blown” full of air, causing the submarine to rise rapidly to the surface. 3) A drop-weight of one or more sections, or possibly one or more battery pods can be manually released in an emergency, dramatically lightening the submarine and causing it to surface. In some designs moveable weights or batteries are used to control trim either in conjunction with, or in substitution for, variable ballast trim procedures. A further method of surfacing is the vertical thruster system which can be actuated to propel the submarine upwards. Indeed, some submersibles are designed in such a way as to always be slightly positively buoyant, and they require the constant use of the vertical thrusters to remain submerged.

In summary, ABS certification requires that the submarine be able to surface with the largest single volume flooded, with the exception of the pressure hull. This can be accomplished by blowing or pumping the hard ballast tanks, blowing the soft tanks, releasing the dropweights or powering to the surface with thrusters. Life support systems consist of oxygen supply and delivery, an atmosphere control mechanism and a carbon dioxide removal process. Most passenger submarines have one or more refrigerant based air conditioning units that maintain reasonable cabin temperatures and control humidity and remove odors. These are operated in conjunction with a scrubber system that removes the carbon dioxide to a level of 0.5% or below. Oxygen is supplied from high pressure cylinders and is automatically injected into the cabin at a rate that replaces the oxygen consumed and maintains a level of 21% by volume. In the event of a failure, a manual bypass system with flow meters and monitoring equipment are

available. In addition, built in breathing sets for each person on board must have a two hour air supply. A purge compressor is used to maintain atmospheric pressure regardless of the depth of the submarine or the internal temperature. This also prevents accidental over pressure in the event of a high pressure air leak. Regulatory agencies and the certifying society require at least 72 hours of oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal capability for an entire complement of crew and passengers. Leisure submarines are usually powered by several externally mounted brushless DC motors. Sufficient system redundance exists to allow for the propulsion of the craft in the event of a unit failure. Electrical power is provided by either sealed lead acid traction batteries or sealed gel cell batteries. Either type are capable of providing power for the submarine for 10 to 14 operating hours per day, and can be fully recharged in an eight hour period. The batteries have a minimum useful life of 1500 deep cycle charges. Main power is either 120V, 240V, or 288V DC which provides electricity for the main propulsion devices, lighting, etc. A separate 24V/12V system is used for life support systems, navigation and communication equipment. Moreover, a secondary separate 24V/12V emergency power system is also required. Sophisticated circuit breakers and power shutoff equipment are available to provide circuit isolation as necessary. The battery compartments are isolated and have their own hydrogen removal/scrubbing purge compressor/ventilation systems. The submarines are equipped with several bilge pumps, and both active and passive fire fighting systems. The craft is in constant contact with the surface support vessel via a dual frequency underwater telephone, or when surfaced, with a VHF marine band radio.

Cayman Islands Shipping Registry In addition to ABS classification, every Triton model is built in full compliance with the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) guidelines for design, manufacture, operation and maintenance for manned submersibles. CISR compliance is important for two reasons. CISR is the preferred flag state for megayachts and their guidelines do not allow a non-CISR compliant submersible to be operated from a CISR registered support vessel. Triton does not want its customers to be faced with having to reflag their vessel to carry a sub. In addition, CISR’s guidelines for submersible registration are among the strictest worldwide. Submersibles that comply with CISR guidelines are likely to comply with the requirements of almost any other flag state (several do not have submersible guidelines or requirements). Safety by Design The overall design of Triton submersibles gives them an advantage in safe operations from the outset. The three greatest risks associated with submersible operation are swamping/instability on the surface, accidents that take place during launch and recovery and underwater entanglement. The catamaran hull configuration (large main ballast tanks on either side of the hull) of each Triton provides tremendous stability on the surface. This combined with the Triton’s excellent freeboard (distance between the waterline and the hatch) allows the submersible to be launched and recovered without the pilot or passengers eliminating many of the risks associated with manned launch and recovery. Crew and passenger changes take place in the water via rigid inflatable. 43

The occupants aboard the inflatable transfer to the Triton’s large back deck and climb into the hatch making the rotation of crew and guests both safe and simple. The combination of ample freeboard and superior surface stability also dramatically reduce the risk of swamping (water entering through the hatch at the surface). The transition from the surface to being fully submerged is the time when a submersible is least stable. Crossing the “interface” rapidly is important, particularly in rough conditions in order to minimize loss of stability. Triton submarines vent fully and are 100% submerged within 15-20 seconds of opening vents. This is in strong contrast to the 90120 seconds that some competing submersibles require. Entanglement in monofilament lines, fishing nets and other underwater items while uncommon, is a risk that every submersible faces during operation. The fully transparent acrylic pressure hull of a Triton provides the pilot and passengers with unmatched, forward, lateral, upward and downward visibility which dramatically reduces the risk of entanglement or collision. Tritons are also designed with rounded edges and very few protrusions, further reducing entanglement risk.

Triton Submarines has collected the finest, most experienced talent in the civil submarine business. Each member of the full time management staff at the company averages 26.7 years of dedicated civil submarine and submersible experience. Including part time staff, the group collectively represents more than 350 years of experience. No competitor even remotely approaches this level of expertise. Triton’s incredible level of com-

petitive superiority is based on the tremendous operations experience of the staff. We know what works in the subsea environment because, more than any group in the world, we’ve been there. We’ve spent thousands of hours piloting more than 80 different civil submarines and submersibles. Our Engineering Manager was in charge of design review at the American Bureau of Shipping for over 25 different submersibles.

Experience the competition… then buy a Triton

MINIMUM WEIGHT, VOLUME & FOOTPRINT Deck space is at a premium aboard a yacht and the smallest Triton’s compact design is only 10 feet LOA, less than half of most competitors’ submersibles. This means the sub stows easily and is significantly easier to launch and recover. TRANSPARENT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT The main reason for owning a submersible is to experience the incredible diversity of the ocean world and to do that you have to be able to see out of the sub effectively. The Triton’s totally transparent passenger compartment provides unsurpassed viewing for the occupants. SUPERIOR SURFACE STABILITY & FREEBOARD The catamaran configuration of the Triton results in unequalled surface stability making it easy for the occupants to get in and out of the sub while it is in the water. The top mounted entrance hatch provides more freeboard (distance from the waterline to the hatch) than any other small submersible. The combination of surface stability and freeboard represent the single most important safety factor in submersible operations. SIMPLE LAUNCH & RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS Unlike many submarines where the hatch cannot be opened with the sub in the water and the occupants have to be loaded into the sub on deck, the Triton can be entered in the water, from the yacht, a tender, or even a jet ski. The Triton does not require an expensive, elaborate, manrated launch and recovery system, making it far more cost effective to own and operate. 45

UNSURPASSED FORWARD/DOWNWARD VISIBILITY When you are cruising in a submersible underwater the best view is forward and down. No sub in the world gives you better viewing and gets you closer to the reef in front, and the sea floor below. DIGITAL TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL & MONITORING A highly sophisticated and proprietary digital touch screen control, navigation, and monitoring system makes Triton uniquely easy to operate and reduces pilot workload. Embedded checklists, automated alarms and an advanced autopilot system improve safety. THREE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLS Digital proportional joystick control coupled to thrusters that move the submersible in all three axes provides for unsurpassed intuitive maneuverability. INDUSTRY’S MOST ADVANCED TRAINING & SUPPORT Triton submersibles are simple and intuitive to operate and Triton will help ensure that every dive is a success with its comprehensive training and support system. Every owner is contractually obligated to have an operator successfully complete our in-house pilot and maintenance training program, which sets the industry standard for effectiveness. Customer support is also available 24/7.

OPERATIONS & DESIGN EXPERIENCE The Triton designers and operations senior staff are the most experienced civil sub experts in the world with over 350 years of collective, dedicated civil sub experience. This is an order of magnitude more than any of our competitors. Patrick Lahey, Triton’s President, is the most experienced civil sub pilot active in the world today, and many of our pilots have made more than 10,000 dives. Our far-reaching experience means we have seen the effective design and operations solutions in many environments and this results in our ability to engineer the world’s best submersibles. DEEP SUBMERSIBLE PILOT SIMULATOR Part of Triton’s training protocol, the full sized Triton simulator is the only one of its kind and an indispensible tool in training capable pilots. Pilot trainees are able to log hundreds of simulated dive cycles before hitting the water. The development of this simulator is an excellent example of our commitment to effective and efficient training. No other company in the world has made an investment of this kind to date.

IN-WATER ACCESS Triton submersibles are remarkably and uniquely stable at the surface with ample freeboard (distance between the water and the hatch). The stability provided by the catamaran style hull and the ample freeboard allows passenger and crew changes to happen in the water instead of having to launch and recover with passengers in the submersible. Passengers and crew changes are simple and made via jet ski, inflatable or tender. Imagine the contrast of having to launch and recover the sub between every dive. Many competing submersibles lack sufficient freeboard and require manned launch and recovery. Without sufficient freeboard, if someone panics and opens the hatch while the sub is in the water, it could have disastrous consequences. ADDED DEPTH CAPABILITY The deeper you can go, the more you can explore. Some of the oceans most magnificent sites are thousands of feet below the surface. Triton has a proven record of building the deepest diving and most reliable yacht-based submersibles on the market.

COMPREHENSIVE PILOT TRAINING – a Triton Exclusive Triton’s industry-leading three phase pilot training program has created some of the world’s most capable deep submersible pilots. Triton’s master instructors have each logged tens of thousands of hours and thousands of submersible dives in every conceivable

environment from recreational diving to oil field work from the Cayman Islands to the seas of Japan, our team has done it all. Their experience is passed on to Triton pilot trainees in each of the following three phases:

Phase 1: Systems Orientation & Familiarization

Phase 2: Triton Simulator Instruction and Diving

Phase 3: Open Water Training

A thorough working knowledge of the parts and systems of a submersible is required to prepare a pilot for any potential situation. Conducted at our Vero Beach manufacturing facility over a two-week period, this phase involves the trainee participating in the final assembly or annual survey of a Triton submersible. In addition, classroom and self-study time is used to help hone the pilot trainee’s knowledge.

Conducted concurrently with Phase 1, Phase 2 gives the trainee the opportunity to “drill for skill” in a safe environment. During instructed simulator time, the pilot trainee will learn everything required to conduct safe diving operations including:

Open water training gives the pilot trainee the opportunity to finetune the skills acquired during systems orientation and familiarization and simulator training but in a real world environment. Conducted at sea over a ten to fourteen day period, the pilot trainee will do a minimum of twenty dives as pilot in command with a qualified Triton instructor. The same elements covered in simulator training will be combined with launch and recovery, support vessel crew interaction, daily maintenance and in-mission troubleshooting. Upon conclusion of Phase 3, the pilot will be issued a certificate of completion and is fully qualified to operate the specific Triton submersible.

At the end of Phase 1, the trainee will have a solid working knowledge of the parts and systems of a Triton submersible.

• Pre-dive checklist • Pre-dive passenger briefing • Diving and surfacing procedures • Pilot and surface officer communication protocols • Control & monitoring systems operation

• Life support systems operation • Navigation & positioning systems operation • Emergency procedures • Touch screen interface operation • Backup and mechanical systems operation • Troubleshooting using Phase 1 knowledge

PRODUCT SUPPORT The Triton difference extends to the support we offer our customers. Triton offers emergency service and access to Triton technicians 24 hours a day /7 days a week. The Triton team has experience with over 80 submersibles and provides maintenance and technical support services to a wide variety of customers. Maintenance and installation services can be performed at our Vero Beach manufacturing facility or on-site worldwide. Support services offered include: • Emergency tech support and troubleshooting • Crew staffing (pilot, surface officer, technician) • Operations consulting • Annual survey • Special periodical survey • General inspection services • Classification testing and recertification

TRITON SIMULATOR An exact replica of a Triton cockpit, the Triton simulator is a key part of every Triton pilot’s training. Piloting a submersible is not just about being able to maneuver it. For example, to a well-trained pilot, maneuvering the sub, communication protocols, passenger interaction and emergency procedures are all second nature. The best way to reach this level of fluency is by diving in a controlled environment where every imaginable scenario can be repeated over and over without risk. Ample simulator time ensures that each and every Triton pilot trainee is completely capable in all aspects of dive operations prior to taking their first open water dive. Triton is the only company in the world with a deep submersible simulator. 47

We are absolutely committed to ensuring every aspect of our design is of the highest possible quality. As a result, Triton’s submersibles are unashamedly more expensive than those of our competitors. We make a fair profit, our parent company has been in business for 20 years and we expect to be here for decades to come. If you compare products with a discerning eye you too will come to understand that when your family’s safety is at stake in a hostile environment like the deep ocean – there is no place for compromise.

L. Bruce Jones, CEO

Bruce grew up living on heavy marine construction platforms in the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf. He learned to dive at the age of nine under the jacket of an oil tanker terminal seven miles off Kuwait. His first jobs were in the marine construction business and usually involved diving or operating a boat. He had the opportunity to travel extensively from a very young age and has visited over 116 countries. Bruce attended high school at Culver Military Academy and it was there that he began sketching submarines and underwater habitats and writing letters to Jacques Cousteau, developing a passion that has consumed him for his entire life. The Deep Ocean is no place for compromi Location & Facilities Triton’s manufacturing facility is located in Vero Beach, Florida just off Interstate 95. Triton builds new submersibles and performs refits and routine maintenance at the Vero Beach location. Triton’s electrical team designs, prints and populates the circuit boards for Triton electrical systems in addition to assembling the internal and external electrical components 49

in the electronics workshop. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems are also assembled and tested on site. The Vero Beach manufacturing facility is home to the world’s only private submersible simulator, an integral part of Triton’s comprehensive pilot training program. Triton welcomes visitors and would be happy to arrange a tour for you.

Triton Energy Systems’ first project in partnership with Eaton Corp and Eclipse Group, the “Flow Augmented Turbine Electrical Ring Generator (FAT ERG)” will harness offshore ocean current energy for the first time in history. Each undersea turbine is 20 meters in diameter and produces 1 MW of power. Up to 50 turbines can be clustered together and the power sent 30 km to shore with less than a 3% line loss. Triton Energy Systems will integrate technology developed by Triton Submarines, LLC for deep diving manned submersibles into the FAT ERG’s control, monitoring, power conversion, transmission and distribution systems.

The Triton Equipped Charter Yacht Advantage Capture your “unfair share” of the charter market… The luxury yacht charter business is becoming increasingly competitive as more and more owners are turning to charter to offset operational expenses. The global recession has also caused potential buyers to select charter as a more cost effective way to experience the luxury yachting lifestyle. While this would typically bode well for charter yacht owners, the significant increase in the size of the global charter fleet continues to dramatically outstrip charter sales growth leaving owners with the difficult task of remaining competitive without slashing prices to unprofitable levels. Placing a Triton aboard your vessel will ensure that you are uniquely positioned to provide yacht owners with a charter amenity that effectively addresses the market demand for a one-of-a-kind charter experience. Triton Submarine Charters, LLC can also help you charter your Triton independently of your vessel. For more information contact: [email protected]

Tourist Submarines

Provide an H2ome for Charter

Triton Energy Systems

U.S. Submarines Inc is a world leader in the development of tourist submarine business operations. Last year a world-wide fleet of approximately 40 tourist submarines carried 1 million tourists down onto coral reefs and wreck sites for hour-long undersea adventures. U.S. Submarines does comprehensive site feasibility studies and business plans for proposed tourist sub operations world-wide. We can provide a full turn-key scenario with fully trained and licensed crew, maintenance contracts, etc or we can assist with any single aspect of putting a tourist sub operation together.

The H2ome built by U.S. Submarine Structures is the world’s first sea floor residence. A 3,600 square foot underwater structure this luxury three bedroom residence can be placed in water that is between 35 and 60 feet deep. The 2-story H2ome is accessed by a pier from the beach and then by elevator down the central column. The interior of the H2ome is always at surface pressure so the residence is not pressurized at all as the structure itself resists the hydrostatic pressure of the ocean. This is luxury in the extreme, with magnificent undersea views from every room, push button fish feeders, underwater lights and even an underwater submarine garage to park your Triton sub.

Triton Energy’s underwater turbines

Just as luxury yachts are chartered for a week at prices as high as $1.5 million, a unique sea floor residence could easily be chartered for $250,000 per week or more, providing a return of $7+ million per year (EBITDA). We have an excellent site selected in Roatan. See http://ussubstructures.com for more information or contact [email protected].

and Eclipse are highly efficient

U.S. Submarines also manufactures the stunning line of transparent-hulled DeepView tourist submarines. These comfortable air conditioned subs provide spectacular viewing and can dive as deep as 100 meters. DeepView subs are available in multiple sizes beginning with those that carry six passengers up to a model that carries 66-passengers. A well-developed tourist sub operation can pay for itself in 18 months and go on to earn millions of dollars per year in profit. For more information, contact [email protected].

Floating & Sea Floor Commercial Structures Luxury Submarines U.S. Submarines has developed a line of diesel electric luxury submarines all of which can dive to 1,000 feet and are capable of spending days submerged. Offerings range from the smaller 6-passenger Discovery 1000 with a 400 mile surface range up to the $90 million Phoenix 1000 with 5,000 square feet of luxury interior space on three levels and trans-Atlantic range. More info at http://ussubmarines.com.

U.S. Submarine Structures can design and build various one-atmosphere sea-floor buildings , including restaurants, spas, commercial buildings, etc. U.S. Submarine Structures has also developed a line of floating semisubmersible offshore activity centers. One configuration includes a base for a small tourist sub on a central platform lift, an underwater bar and restaurant, five bi-level luxury underwater suites and a roof top lounge with swimming pool.

includes small models for inshore tidal current areas that generate as little as 25kW, to the large 1 MW undersea turbine systems that can be clustered together to produce up to 50MW of energy. Triton’s revolutionary “blue energy” systems developed in partnership with Eaton cost-effective energy sources that in the case of the offshore FAT ERG systems generate power 24/7, making them far more effective than wind or solar alternatives.

Glossary of Terms • ABS American Bureau of Shipping. ABS is a classification agency with over 20 years of experience with submersible classification. ABS is the preferred agency for every major tourist submersible operation in the world. ABS classed submersibles have been carrying about 1 million passengers per year for over 20 years with no major injuries or fatalities making an ABS classed sub statistically the safest form of transportation in the world. • A-Frame As the name implies, an A-Frame is an A shaped, box construction lifting system that is installed via pivoting anchors on the port and starboard sides on the stern of a vessel. 67

• Acrylic Commonly known by the brand name “Plexiglas”, acrylic is the material used in the 1000, 3300 and 5500 foot-rated Triton pressure hulls. Acrylic’s refractive properties are almost identical to water making the hull virtually invisible when submerged.

• Buoyancy Buoyancy is the phenomenon (discovered by Archimedes) that an object less dense than a fluid will float in the fluid. Archimedes’ principle states that a fluid will exert an upward force on an object immersed equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

• Certification The action the U.S. Coast Guard takes in awarding a vessel a certificate of Inspection (COI). It is not a guarantee that a vessel is safe to operate; only recognition that it has passed the U. S. Coast Guard’s inspection on a given date.

• Altitude The distance from the ocean bottom to the bottom of the submersible.

• Cabin Pressure The air pressure in the passenger compartment of a submersible. Triton Submersibles are always at surface pressure or 1 Atmosphere (atm).

• Charge Panel A panel on the support vessel equipped with HP air, O2 and battery charging connectors and monitoring devices.

• Ambient Pressure The pressure of the surrounding environment. Ambient pressure submersibles are designed such that the pressure in the passenger compartment is equal to the water pressure at a given depth. Triton submersibles do not have ambient pressure hulls. The passenger compartment of every Triton model remains at surface pressure regardless of depth. The strength of the hull keeps water out rather than a balance in pressure.

• Captain Typically refers to the Captain of the support vessel from which the submersible is launched. The person responsible for operating the submersible is referred to as the “pilot”. • Captain of the Port (COPT) An officer in any country responsible for safety of facilities and operations in a given port.

• Annual Survey- An annual inspection required by ABS (or other classification agencies) to keep a submersible in class. This helps ensure safe operation and continued insurability of the submersible.

• Center of Buoyancy The mathematical center of the volume displaced by a vessel. Unlike the center of gravity, for center of buoyancy includes only intact volumes, i.e., the external outline contributes to the calculation. Internal components do not.

• Atmosphere (atm) A unit of measure used to describe water pressure at various depths. Pressure begins at sea level at 1 atm and increases by 1 atm for every 10 meters of depth (about 33 feet).

• Center of Gravity That point in an object around which its weight is evenly distributed or balanced, i.e., the mathematical summation of the center of weight of every component of a vessel.

• Ballast Any material used to control buoyancy and stability.

• Certificate of Inspection A certificate issued by the U.S. Coast Guard that certifies a vessel has been inspected and satisfies safety requirements for the hull, machinery and safety equipment. A COI for small passenger vessels less than 65 feet long is valid for three years. At least two re-inspections must be made within the triennial inspection period in order for the COI to remain valid.

• Ballast Tanks A floodable volume on a submersible used to control buoyancy and on occasion, stability. • BIBS Built In Breathing System – A SCUBA regulator capable of supplying breathing air.

• Chase Boat A surface vessel that remains at the dive site during operations for the purpose of communicating with the submersible and coordination surface operations. The chase boat is typically a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). The Surface Officer is located in the chase boat. • Classification Classification is an official recognition bestowed upon a marine craft by one or more of the internationally recognized classification societies. Classification is one indication that the marine craft owner has exercised due diligence during the construction and service life of the vessel. To remain in class, a vessel must undergo periodic surveys to verify that it is maintained to class standards and in conformance with the Rules. • CO2 Scrubbing Compound A rough granular substance that is used to remove CO2 from the passenger compartment. • Crane (Fixed Boom) The most common crane, fixed booms are attached to the deck of the support vessel via a pedestal. At the top of the pedestal is a rotating turret (typically capable of rotating 360 degrees) to which a boom is attached. The boom is raised and lowered via hydraulic cylinders that are attached to the lower portion of the boom and the turret. A cable extending from the boom tip attaches to a hook (or other attachment mechanism), which can be raised or (continued)

lowered via a winch or by actuating the hydraulic cylinders attached to the boom. A variation of this type of crane is an “extending boom” crane featuring a boom which can be extended and retracted during operation for increased versatility.

• Flag (or Flag State) The country/region where a vessel is registered.

• Crane (Knuckle Boom) Similar to the fixed boom crane with the added ability of the boom to articulate at one or more joints.

• Floodable Volume Any area on a submersible that contains air (passenger compartment, air tanks, variable ballast tanks, external electrical junction box, battery pods etc.).

• Critical dimensional check A test of inspection of safety critical dimensions of the structure of a submersible, such as the hull roundness or circularity. • Davit Davit systems (often used for life rafts) make use of two pivoting arms working together (systems for lighter equipment can use a single arm). The arms pivot outward moving the load away from the vessel and the load is then lowered to the water on cables. • Depth Rating The maximum depth for safe operation of a particular submersible/submarine. • Drop Weight System An on board safety system that consists of a weight attached to the exostructure, which may be released to provide positive buoyancy and rapid ascent in the event of an emergency. • DVL Doppler Velocity Log • Dynamic Launch and Recovery Launch or recovery of a submersible while the support vessel is underway. Typically performed in rougher seas to minimize pitch and roll.

• Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) passenger ship safety certificate An international certificate issued under the SOLAS convention by the government under whose flag a vessel is sailing. All signatory governments agree that vessels they certify will be in compliance with SOLAS regulations governing ship safety. The U.S. Coast Guard makes “control verification” Inspections to verify that foreign flag vessels operating in U. S. Ports comply with SOLAS regulations.

• Pressure Vessel for Human Occupancy (PVHO) In engineering terms, a class of tank designed, fabricated, inspected, and tested to accommodate personnel under pressure or vacuum.

• Safety Plan A comprehensive review of a system’s hardware and operations intended to improve the identification, analysis and elimination or control of hazards. This review is broader in scope than a hazard analysis and includes that analysis as input. It brings the organizational experience to bear on the subject system.

• Re-breather (see also “ESCBA”) A device designed for use by one person and intended to provide emergency air supply requirements for occupants aboard the submersible in the event of fouled atmosphere.

• Scrubber An on-board life support system component that removes (scrubs) CO2 from the atmosphere in the submersible to maintain the concentration of that gas at a level consistent with supporting life.

• Sea State The general condition of the ocean (or any body of water). The widely accepted “Douglas Sea Scale” assigns a number of 1-9 (Calm to “Phenomenal) to describe wave height and swell. • SONAR Sound Navigation and Ranging. Submersible SONAR devices emit pulses of sounds and then listen for echoes to determine the shape and location of objects in the SONARS range. Results are displayed on computer screen. • Special Periodical Survey A comprehensive vessel survey required by classification agency at a given interval (typically every 3rd year). • Surface Stability The degree to which a submersible resists pitch and roll at the surface. • Submarine A watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. • Submersible Any vessel that operates with its entire hull below the surface of the water. While most are free swimming, submersibles may also be tethered or on tracks. They may be manned or unmanned and remotely operated, and (if manned) may or may not require a self-contained air supply. It’s important to understand the difference between a submersible and a submarine. A submarine is capable of generating its own power, either by running a diesel electric generator while surfaced, or running a nuclear reactor.

• Surface Officer The crewmember on the surface responsible for running dive operations for a submersible. • Syntactic Foam A dense foam (made with small hollow glass beads in an epoxy resin) used to provide buoyancy in deep diving subs. • Technician The crewmember on a support vessel responsible for maintenance and repair of a submersible. • Thruster A propulsion device used to move a sub through the water. • Trim The inclined attitude taken by a submersible’s bow (or stern) when it moves above or below the even keel (level) attitude. A longitudinal separation between the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy will cause the submersible to trim about the center of gravity. If the center of gravity is aft of the center of buoyancy, the vessel will trim aft (down by the stern). If the center of gravity is forward of the center of buoyancy, it will trim forward (down by the bow). • USBL Ultra Short Baseline Locator.
