DUAL DEEP WORKER SUBMERSIBLE

Owned And Operated By Deep Ocean Expeditions LLC

The Dual Deep Worker 2000 (DDW) submersible was built and designed by Phil Nuytten of Nuytco, Vancouver, Canada. It was commissioned for building in 2001 by Deep Ocean Expeditions and was launched in July 2003.

The Dual Deep Worker submersible has a maximum operating depth of 600 metres (2,000 feet).

The Dual Deep Worker is a modified version of the well-proven Deep Worker, a single hulled but similar submersible. The design has proven to be extremely safe with many practical applications.

The Dual Deep Worker is certified +A1 manned submersible by Lloyds Register of Shipping.

The pressure hull consists of two separate steel hulls. Each hull has a 38-inch diameter acrylic hinged hatch attached to the steel pressure hull. This hatch is used to enter/exit the submersible.

Cabin pressure inside the submersible remains at one atmosphere: cabin air is recycled and cleaned of carbon dioxide and oxygen replenished using a metabolic make up system, which is identical to that used aboard spacecraft.

The Dual Deep Worker has a favourable weight to power ratio giving it superb manoeuvrability.

The Dual Deep Worker is the perfect submersible for exploring and capturing on film the 'Twilight Zone'. It is in this zone, below 800 feet, where no ambient light penetrates that many species are seen for the first time.

Whether exploring the bottom or cruising the sloping walls into the abyss, the Dual Deep Worker is the submersible of choice.
