When it comes to high-tech boats, we know our stuff. Here at OddityMall, we’ve covered everything from the one person mini boat to the super fast catamaran. We’ve taken to the high seas with the Estrella superyacht and conquered the swimming pool with this inflatable tank with the working squirt gun. Basically, if we’re stoked on a watercraft, then you should get stoked too.

Case in point, say hello to the Triton 660 AVA Submersible. While you’ve been trying to pay your electric bill and navigate a pandemic, fancy people have been developing cutting edge technology that will allow other fancy people to explore the mysterious depths of the great blue sea.

Florida-based submersible company Triton developed the 660 AVA to feel kind of like a home theater, with the goal of offering a one of a kind “front row view” of the ocean.

The submersible has a spacious, luxurious interior with a huge acrylic window that’s designed to give you a totally unobstructed perspective of underwater life and a unique view of the beautiful landscape that exists beneath the sea.

The 660 AVA has modular seating so you can arrange the chairs to your liking, from corporate meetings to cocktail parties and poker nights.

The unique theater submarine is called the 660 AVA because it can reach a max depth of 660 feet (well, technically 656 feet but that doesn’t sound as cool).

The innovative submersible can carry 1 pilot and 8 adults, or 1 pilot, 6 adults and 4 children - although why you’d ever bring kids onboard is beyond me!

The high-tech submersible theater can stay underwater for up to 12 hours, and there are powerful integrated LED lights so you can easily see your surroundings underwater.

The watercraft is controlled via a cutting edge joystick and user interface so the pilot can check out nearby attractions like coral reefs.

The wrap around view offered by the acrylic windows makes it feel as though you’re floating weightlessly in the ocean. Just imagine sipping on a martini while schools of tropical fish glide by overhead!

Each submersible measures a little over 9 feet long, 14.8 feet wide and 7.55 feet tall. Not too shabby! The top speed is 3 nautical knots, which translates to about 3.5 miles per hour.

While the Triton 660 AVA submersible isn’t the kind of thing you can pick up at your local auto dealership, it’s nevertheless been painstakingly designed to benefit users that want to use the craft as a way to generate some extra income.

For example, the per dive revenue increases by 33 percent when compared to traditional private submarines. I wouldn’t call this thing cost effective by any means, but I guess that’s good to know if you ever want to get into the submarine biz.

You can’t exactly add the Triton 660 AVA to an online shopping cart, but you can make a purchase enquiry using a form on the Triton website! Just don’t forget to invite your friends at OddityMall when you want to go for a dive.

Since the Triton 660 AVA Submersible theater is not for sale besides for commercial purposes there is no price we can tell you, though they do recommend a seat price of between $400-$600 per person for the company to purchase, pilot, and keep-up the submarine while still making a profit.
