Submersibles
Submersibles are specialized underwater vehicles designed for traveling beneath the surface of water, typically oceans or lakes. They can be manned or unmanned and are equipped with technology for exploration, research, or underwater tasks like maintenance. Unlike submarines, submersibles usually operate at shallower depths and are often deployed from a surface ship. They provide scientists and researchers with the ability to study marine life, geological formations, and underwater ecosystems, contributing significantly to oceanography and environmental science. Their design allows them to withstand the immense pressure of deep water while maintaining a stable environment for occupants or equipment.

Submersibles are specialized underwater vehicles designed to operate beneath the surface of water. Unlike submarines, which are self-propelled and can travel long distances, submersibles are often smaller and typically require a mother ship for deployment and recovery. They are used for various purposes, including scientific research, underwater exploration, and repairs to underwater infrastructure. Equipped with cameras, sensors, and manipulative equipment, submersibles can explore ocean depths, study marine life, and gather data from environments that are difficult to reach. Their design ensures they withstand the high pressures of deep water while providing visibility and control for operators.
