Submersible specialists U-Boat Worx has launched the Super Sub, a groundbreaking submersible that combines cutting-edge technology and a sleek design.
The Super Sub embodies the vision of its customers and the engineering prowess of U-Boat Worx, incorporating advanced technology, unparalleled safety features, and a streamlined design.
Ground-breaking Performance
The new private submersible boasts an impressive 100 kW of thrust, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 10 knots. This enables the sub to keep up with marine life like dolphins and game fish while also maintaining position in steady currents. The Super Sub can also smoothly ascend and descend at inclines of up to 45 degrees while executing rapid banking turns, ensuring agile and swift underwater manoeuvrability.
This enhanced speed capability enables the Super Sub to match the pace of larger marine creatures, solidifying its position as the world’s fastest private submersible. Additionally, its substantial thrust capacity equips the Super Sub to contend with powerful underwater currents.

One of U-Boat Worx’ primary design priorities has always been to provide the clearest view for experiencing the underwater world optimally. To achieve this, a remarkably clear fully acrylic pressure hull has been positioned at the front of the submersible, offering an unobstructed view in every direction, unimpeded by ballast tanks, batteries, and other components.
A Focus on Functionality
The SHARC Controller ensures that the hydrofoils operate in unison with the powerful thruster systems, guaranteeing guests the most thrilling ride. The hydrofoils on the back of the submarine allow it to direct the thrust flow more effectively, enabling sharp turns and banking maneuvers. The Super Sub also features an auto-heading system which, when activated, automatically maintain the sub’s  heading.

In addition, the U-Boat Worx Information System (UIS) provides the pilot with direct access to all pertinent information through a user-friendly touchscreen display. This PLC-based sensor network ensures that the right information is available when needed, making diving effortless.
Safety as a Priority
Like every other U-Boat Worx masterpiece, the DNV-certified Super Sub is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems. For example, the ‘maximum depth protection’ feature prevents the pilot from descending beyond the submarine’s maximum operating depth. If the submersible ever goes too deep, this safety feature will automatically raise the submersible until it is back within its certified depth.

The Safety Buoy is a distinctive feature of U-Boat Worx submersibles. When released, it marks the submarine’s position on the surface. A large drop weight can be manually released from within the vessel to increase buoyancy and assist in returning to the surface in case of an emergency. Additionally, each submarine, including the Super Sub, is equipped with a minimum of 96 hours of life support.
