External Mounting

The Dragon can be configured to carry a variety

of optional extras including underwater
cameras and lighting systems.

DeepFlight Dive Manager (DDM)

The DDM is a proprietary automated system that
monitors and manages critical dive functions,
eliminating the need for a professional pilot in a
third seat. Go where you want to go, underwater.

Hover Capable
The Dragon uses pure vertical thrust to descend
and hover, allowing the freedom to explore
wrecks, walls, and underwater canyons.

Positive Buoyancy
The Dragon is always positively buoyant. No
matter where you are, just turn it off and it
will float naturally back to the surface.

Compact Design
The Dragon is the smallest and lightest of
any personal submarine on the market.
Launch it with ease just like a tender.
