Two 16 inch diameter battery pods, each containing 10 high-ampere, deep cycle, AGM batteries. Two main 1 H.P. thrusters, plus two angled 1 H.P. vertical thrusters, angled sufficiently to give lateral control. 200 c. ft. ballast air provided to fill constant volume tanks. Two oxygen cylinders carried externally. Carbon dioxide removed via two scrubbers.
Life support exceeds four days.
If none of these recovery options are available, the pressure hull is separable from the frame and battery pod and would rise to the surface. Standard reach 7 feet, extendible to 14 feet. Multi-function, with wrist lights and video standard. Obligations of researchers All researchers intending to operate the DeepWorker submersible must complete training hosted for SSE by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, near Monterey, California. Training sessions will include classroom instruction, practice sessions in large tanks, and training in the open ocean.
