DSV Aurelia

The world’s deepest
diving three-person acrylic submersible

Opens new frontiers beneath the surface

Exploring the unseen.
Protecting the unknown.

On REV Ocean we operate the TRITON 660/2 SPII – an advanced two-person submersible designed for both scientific research and deep-sea exploration.

It represents the second generation of Triton’s superyacht submersibles, combining the power of the flagship TRITON 3300/3 MKII with a more compact and energy-efficient design.

The DSV is engineered to operate at depths of up to 200 meters, giving researchers access to ocean zones that are often unreachable with conventional methods. Its spherical, pressure-resistant acrylic hull provides nearly 360-degree visibility, which is critical for observing marine ecosystems, studying animal behavior, and documenting underwater environments.

The submersible is equipped with advanced maneuvering systems, high-capacity LED lighting, and dedicated mounts for scientific instruments and cameras. This makes it particularly well suited for missions requiring precise visual studies, data collection, or high-quality imaging.

Onboard REV Ocean, the TRITON 660/2 SPII serves as an essential tool in our mission to investigate, understand, and protect the ocean. Through its combination of robust engineering, ease of use, and scientific capability, it enables unique opportunities to map and analyze marine environments in ways that would otherwise be impossible.
