Open the oceans & immerse yourself into an educational platform that will influence far beyond the realms of recreation & research! I am John Antaramian, President of SubSurface Submersibles & Innovative Engineering Concepts, and designer of the world's only 5 passenger semi s
ubmersible Research Vessel. This is our prototype design called "The Ray". It is engineered as a cutting-edge research vessel, as well as, a safe, comfortable, and family-friendly sphere that will change the way we experience the subsurface. Literally, providing windows to both the shallows and the deep, our Tri-Form design is equipped with twin 48 volt electric thrusters that safely, and of equal importance, stealthily maneuver the reef. As you and The Ray immerse into the marine environment, the excitement of exploration is naturally enhanced by the serene wrap and cooling warmth of the other 70 of our lesser known planet, without causing harm to or damaging the delicate coral reef ecosystem. "The Ray will deliver an educational platform that will influence far beyond the realms of recreation and research!"
The intended use of this vessel is as unique as its design. On the open water, it is one of the most stable platforms in the world! With a beam in excess of 11 feet, the central passenger pod's Iceberg Stabilizing System extends almost 6 feet below the waterline, acting as a central stabilizing keel, weighing in at a nearly 12,000 pounds. These unique characteristics make The Ray an optimal vessel for film and photography, custom packages can pack up to 12,000 watts of photovoltaic renewable energy to power our "Wicked Cool Motion Capture Flash Bar". This unique feature captures one of our most innovative designs for motion stop cinematography bringing with it the potential to revolutionize the way we observe and report any and all data that takes place just below the ocean’s surface.
