The Super Falcon 3S takes up to two guests on a sub-aquatic ‘dive’ exploration of the Maldives’ only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Landaa Giraavaru’s Baa Atoll.
Water sports operator, Ocean Group has partnered with Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru to launch a unique submarine that enables passengers to experience underwater flight.
The Super Falcon 3S takes up to two guests on a sub-aquatic ‘dive’ exploration of the Maldives’ only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Landaa Giraavaru’s Baa Atoll.
With a professional pilot at the controls, passengers can explore the Maldivian marine life-rich waters down to a depth of 37 metres – all without getting wet.
Ocean Group said the Super Falcon 3S “represents the pinnacle of personal submarine technology - an environmentally friendly, battery-operated submersible that offers unparalleled underwater ‘flying’ from the safety, comfort and style of a personal pressurised and air-conditioned cockpit, with individual viewing domes”.
The Super Falcon 3S has been designed with the environment in mind: its electric and acoustic emissions have been minimised so as not to disturb marine life, and it never lands on the seabed or reefs.
The pilot narrates each dive with a real-time commentary, “educating and inspiring guests about the wonders of the underwater ecosystem”, Ocean Group said.
The couple behind Ocean Group is Hussain and Yasmin Zahid, who curate some of the world’s best dive and water sports experiences in Asia.
