SUBMARINES
Small personal submarines or submersibles are arguably the ultimate toy to be found aboard a superyacht and as interest in the environment and ocean conservation increases, they are becoming more popular. They are built to the highest standards of health and safety with many approved by classification societies and registry requirements.
You should uphold proper maintenance of submarines as accidents could be caused by incorrect storage. A general duty of care is owed to all other users of the sea when using submarines. Given their inherent risk there are currently only a few insurers who provide specialist coverage.
Training is essential for their use which is usually provided upon purchase. A qualified operator is generally not required for use but in some jurisdictions like Canada you need to have an open water diving licence to navigate a personal submarine, while there may be local restrictions regarding where and how they can be operated.
