Overview
NEXUS reimagines the multi-passenger submersible around an elliptical acrylic hull that's transparent on every side — there's no 'back row' on board.
Eight vectored horizontal thrusters give NEXUS true omni-directional movement, while revolving seating platforms let each guest face whatever catches their eye.
With the largest hatch in its class, an optional elevator, and 90 cm of safe freeboard for stable surface boarding, NEXUS is engineered around passenger comfort from the first step aboard.
