Overview
Super Sub pairs U-Boat Worx's signature 360° acrylic hull with a hydrodynamic profile and 25 kW thrusters, reaching speeds of up to 10 knots underwater — more than three times faster than any other manned submersible in its class.
Hydrofoil-assisted steering allows banking turns of up to 30°, controlled through the new SHARC controller for fast, intuitive maneuvering at speed.
Despite the performance focus, Super Sub keeps the comforts U-Boat Worx is known for: air conditioning, Bluetooth audio, and 96-hour emergency life support.
