This submarine design set the former world solo dive depth record in 1985 at 1000m. Some of the 2-seaters were used on the documentary film ' Aliens of the Deep'.

Deep Rover, a series of 1- and 2-seater subs that relied on conventional ballast systems for diving, designed by Hawkes, built by Deep Ocean Engineering.The initial example is called Necker Nymph and run by Virgin Limited Edition. At the time of launch, it was the most advanced personal submarine in the world. The first example was built for Tom Perkins. Unlike most subs, it does not have a circular pressure hull. The SuperFalcon is much more maneuverable than all subs preceding it.

The Challenger was designed for Steve Fossett's attempt at the world's deepest point, Challenger Deep. It was designed completely on a computer. It relies solely on hydrodynamic forces to dive. With an operational depth of 1500ft, the Aviator is the first of its kind positively-buoyant submersible. Wet Flight was used in filming of 'Dolphins: The Ride'/ ĭeepFlight II was designed on AutoCAD.

All or some of them have two pairs of wings like an airplane's, one pair front and the other pair rear, shorter than an airplane's and the other way up so they push the submarine down.ĭeepFlight I was sponsored by TV firms, and serve as technology testbed for DeepFlight II. Hawkes builds the DeepFlight range of submersibles, which uses hydrodynamic forces for diving, instead of ballast. Hawkes Remotes is a subsidiary that builds ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), unmanned robotic submarines. It is headquartered in San Francisco, US. Hawkes Ocean Technologies is a marine engineering firm that specializes in consumer submarines, founded by Graham Hawkes.
