This incredible futuristic submarine looks like an underwater UFO

With its free-form acrylic pressure hull, the Triton 660 AVA aims to provide 'entertainment-focused underwater experiences'.
After the catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible during an underwater mission to the wreck of the Titanic last year, attitudes towards undersea exploration have been understandably tepid of late.

One company looking to change all that, however, is Triton Submarines - a US-based luxury submarine developer and manufacturer which is all about quality and comfort.

Its latest creation is quite the sight to behold - a futuristic underwater exploratory vehicle with a free-form acrylic pressure hull which enables its passengers to get a wide view of the ocean floor.
Known as the Triton 660 AVA, the new submarine almost looks like a UFO thanks to its unique shape.

Capable of diving around 200 meters below the ocean's surface, it certainly won't be going anywhere near the Titanic anytime soon, but it should provide an underwater experience like no other.

Only the super-rich need apply, however, given the hefty price tag of $6.3 million.

You can check out the sub in action in the video below.

Very cool.

I'm not sure that having 'Triton' rhyming with 'Titan' is the best PR move if I'm being honest.

At 200m the pressure is about 2000 kPa.  I have no idea how that translate to pounds per square inch.

When I was diving, they schooled us that 33 feet of water exerts 1 atmosphere of pressure, which is about 14.7 pounds.   If you are down at 33 feet, you have about 29psi ( water depth plus atmosphere) on your body. Rule of thumb, 200 meters is close enough to 660 feet, about 20x 33 feet, 20 atmospheres = pretty close to 300 pounds per square inch. Any way you measure it, that is a force to be reckoned with.
