Small, light work vehicle

The one-atmosphere DeepWorker 2000 submersible allows a pilot to go deeper and spend more time below the surface than traditional diving methods. The compact and lightweight DeepWorker 2000 is easy to operate and can be piloted with minimal training. Horizontal and vertical thrusters give unparalleled manoeuvrability; the DeepWorker 2000 can hover and ‘fly’ underwater.

DeepWorker 2000 is also available in a 3300ft (1000m) configuration as a DeepWorker 3000.
