Triton Submarines


Triton Submarines is a Florida-based company that designs and manufactures private submersibles for research, filming, deep-ocean exploration, and the luxury yachting and tourism sector. It was founded in 2007 by Bruce L. Jones, C.E.O., and Patrick Lahey, President.
In 2017, Triton announced an ultra-luxury submersible in collaboration with Aston Martin called Project Neptune. Utilizing the Triton 1650/3 Low Profile submersible as its certified platform, and sharing design language with the Aston Martin Valkyrie hyper-car, the Project Neptune submersible features an exclusive interior, improved hydrodynamics, and extra powerful thrusters for increased speed and maneuverability.
As of 2019, the DSV Limiting Factor, a Triton 36000/2 Full Ocean Depth model operated by Victor Vescovo, holds the record for deepest manned descent.
Between 28 April and 4 May 2019 the DSV Limiting Factor completed four manned dives to the bottom of Challenger Deep and became the first commercially certified full ocean depth manned submersible. A subsequent descent to the Challenger Deep in June, 2020, also carried former NASA astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan to the deepest point in the ocean and back.
