SET UP & TRAINING CONTRACT

A well trained crew is the key to a successful operation. It is recommended that the crew will be selected jointly by the builder and the operator. A submarine pilot should preferably have or obtain a surface license for minimum of similar size surface vessel, prior to or during training as a submarine pilot. The pilot should also be technically oriented and a previous experience in underwater operations will be of advantage.

The copilot should have an engineer’s license for minimum of same size surface vessel. A working knowledge of electronics and electrical engineering is of great assistance. All crew should have as a minimum basic First Aid training.

The training of the crew will take place in two periods. The first one is the technical orientation during the completion of the build, which is included in the purchase price of the system. Where the nominated crew will receive hands on instruction is all aspects of the submarine by participating in the final assembly of the submarine. Specific classroom lectures will be scheduled on a regular basis to cover the theoretical aspects of submarine systems.

We can also offer as a stand-alone contract a selection of (optional extra) training modules. These cover various aspects of tourist submarine operations. As a complete suite, these modules represent a complete operational training package.
