Structure

Pilot situational awareness, fundamental to Triton’s design philosophy, has been maximised. All systems external to the pressure hull are mounted to the sides and top of the hull, affording the pilot unobstructed downward and forward sight-lines through three acrylic viewports. External fixtures are mounted outside of the pilot’s eye-line while high-output LEDs offer great illumination at depth. The view is augmented by an array of FOD-capable, low-light cameras.

The interior of the Limiting Factor is a study in comfort, utility and ergonomics. Pilot controls are quickly identifiable and easy to operate. Leather padded seats with multiple seating ensure comfortable 8-12 hour dives in an interior that is both temperature and humidity controlled.

Designed specifically for lengthy expeditions in remote areas, the Limiting Factor’s essential systems are designed with simplicity and reliability foremost of mind. Maintenance can be carried out at sea using standard tooling, while repairs can be carried out by skilled ships’ crew, if required.
