“The pressure hull was designed so that it would fit in the pressure chamber,” he says. “It was absolutely at the limit of what would fit.” A dive of 14,000 metres was then simulated. While this depth is 20% deeper than the deepest point on earth (the Challenger Deep stands at 11,000 metres) it is a requirement for submersibles intending to dive the full ocean depth multiple times. Needless to say, Limiting Factor passed the test, becoming the only submersible in the world certified to dive to 11,000 metres an unlimited number of times. here

It was clear from the beginning, Ramsay says, that the brief for Limiting Factor was for an entirely different machine. Unlike the foreboding submarines prevalent in World War Two documentaries, black, cylindrical and sinister, Limiting Factor is “scallop shaped”, more similar to an “axe head” or “wedge”, according to McCullum. This allows it to descend through the water column with ease and reach the bottom quickly – and by “quickly” Ramsay means four hours. High manoeuvrability on the bottom was also crucial to ensure that Vescovo could correct the sub’s position after arriving on the bottom. “It was of the absolute importance to be able to move the sub to the deepest point,” Ramsay says.

With construction complete, it was time for Limiting Factor to hit the water for sea trials in the Bahamas. Launched from the expedition’s support ship Pressure Drop, Limiting Factor descended for the first time. It was, Ramsay remembers, “a fraught time”. “That point in the project is probably the worst stage,” he says. “The first time it hits the water you know there are going to be dozens and dozens of things that need changing to make it perform as it should.” Vescovo however did not share Ramsay’s anxiety. Emerging from Limiting Factor following his first test dive, Vescovo declared that “going to the five deeps is absolutely going to happen, I’m convinced of that.”

To prove the potential possibilities of the machine, Ramsay accompanied Vescovo and Triton president Patrick Lahey on a demonstration dive in the Bahamas. “One of the objectives of that dive was to prove to Victor the importance of being able to see out of the submarine with your own eyes and not just through cameras,” says Ramsay. “We spent a long time discussing the technical details of what was and wasn’t possible, being quite matter of fact about it and admitting when things would take more research, time and money.” more

There have of course been other submersibles that have descended to 11,000 metres. First there was Trieste in 1960 which became the first manned vessel to reach the bottom of the Pacific Ocean’s Challenge Deep, commonly known as the deepest point on earth. Then there was Deepsea Challenger in 2012, which saw Canadian film director James Cameron pilot the second manned dive to the bottom. These were however, according to Five Deeps expedition leader Rob McCullum, “one shot wonders”. Neither of them descended to all five deeps or undertook unlimited dives to 11,000 metres. They both dived to the bottom to the Challenge Deep once, reaching depths of 10,912 metres and 10,908 meters respectively. Limiting Factor meanwhile completed four dives to the bottom and reached a record-breaking deepest point of 10,928 metres. [links]

Its 3.5-inch thick titanium pressure hull was built using advanced forging techniques, and Triton tested the vessel in Russia with conditions equivalent to 43,300 feet, or 20% greater than the ocean's deepest point.

The Triton 36,000/2 Hadal Exploration System will travel to the deepest parts of each of the world's five oceans. It is the only commercial submersible certified for repeated trips to 36,000-foot depths, according to Triton. here

"We've made anything that the sub could potentially get entangled in ejectable, so all of the thrusters could be released and the manipulator can be released and fall away. The batteries can drop away," Ramsey said.

Triton's new submarine also includes several life-support features. Two occupants would have enough oxygen for four days, and the vessel has absorbers that remove carbon dioxide. Fire is still a risk, though the designers have created an analog life-support system that can't shut down during an electrical failure. [links]

After sea trials to depths of 16,400 feet in the Bahamas this past summer, the submarine was handed over to its new owner, the company Caladan Oceanic. here

By making use of Material Plane’s limited understanding and their isolation, Tritons can become very arrogant and haughty. Since they take care of the sea (commonly named as Sea Caretakers) and expect deep respect from all the other creatures.

Reclusive Tritons are very fierce in defending their homes and mainly prefer to avoid the combats. With circumstances warranty, they use ranged weapons or melee to attack their enemies. Most of the time they are mounted on porpoises (a friendly sea creature) if they are encountered outside of their liar. They often choose their companions with water elementals and make use of it from the 7 th Caster level. To perform or avoid a hazard or some special action, the Triton 5e uses any Swim check with a racial bonus of 8+. here

Importance of Triton 5E (Fifth Edition): Triton 5e is an outsider race hailed from Water’s Elemental Plane and they are the native race to the seas as well. They have very good relations with hippocampi, sea lions, and giant sea horses. he dangerous spots, Elemental planes portals, beside the deep trenches able to build small settlements, and ocean depths are guarded by Tritons from the land-bound folk eyes which are far away. The noble tritons are increasingly active around the world and established guardians of a deep ocean floor.

Triton Principal Design Engineer John Ramsay said: “When we started thinking about the design of the Triton Titanic Explorer, we knew the unique visual capability of being the deepest diving acrylic hulled sub would need to be countered by the darkness at depth. What’s the point of going down if you can’t see anything when you get there? So, we developed the Gull Wings to counter just that. They are equipped with lighting and cameras so you can essentially light your subject from one angle while shooting from the other, and even adjust the position of the wings for dexterity, control and maneuverability. It’s a remarkable advancement, particularly for filmmakers, researchers or scientists who are using the vehicle.” here

Named to honor Triton’s August 2019 mission to visit the wreck of the RMS Titanic, the new submarine was built to stand up to the most extreme professional applications. With a 4,000-meter depth-rating (that’s over 13,000 feet!) and a distinctive gull wing design that allows for additional lighting, cameras and scientific equipment to use on really deep-diving missions, the two-person submersible is an explorer’s dream machine. The payload capacity can accommodate almost half a ton of additional equipment more than other models. [links]

Additionally, the wings elegantly retract for efficient diving and ascent, seamlessly contouring with the main sub body, and they can be retracted at depth, as well, to allow for more precise navigation. A Silent Glide feature allows passengers to get up close and personal with sunken objects and deep-sea dwellers without disturbing the environment. here
