The worlds first semi submarine lets you explore the marine life with ease

/0 Comments/in /by

If you are an aqua- buff who wouldn’t miss a chance to dive into water, Kihaad Maldives, a luxury resort in Baa Atoll has devised the perfect gift for you. Say hello to Penguin: the brands compact semi-submarine that takes you into the underwater world with a level of unimaginable safety and comfort. It is also the world’s first such submarine to be introduced in the Maldives resort.

While water sports like scuba diving and snorkeling promise you a good view of the aquatic life, they come with their own set of challenges. This is where crafts such as the Penguin come in. The unique vehicle almost resembles a regular boat and is made up of two floating hulls on either side of a plexi-glassed cabin, attached underneath. With the help of this central cabin that comes with three large windows on the front and the side, one can explore the ocean floor without the hassles of getting wet. Further, while sports like scuba diving require expensive certification and training, sailing the waters in the Penguin is seamless and relatively cheaper.

The latest version of the semi-submarine: The Penguin 2.0 comes is dual types – electric and outboard. The main difference between the two lies in their propulsion types, with the former making use of an electric motor and the latter using a gasoline powered engine. This unique water vehicle can seat anywhere between 4 to 12 people in total, depending on its version. Here’s another incentive to plan a trip to the Maldives!

This mini semi-submarine is the hottest excursion in Maldives. The atoll area, a ring-shaped coral reef is the best place for Penguin Saling because of the rich underwater shows and calm waves.

Developed by Gocean, Penguin is the first compact semi submarine motor boat. Penguin is sailing in the Maldives, Seychelles and Chengdu in China and aimed at becoming must-ride excursion all around the world’s premier resorts. This submersibles vessels is capable of diving, similarly to submarines.

Their operating range from the native port might be limited by the local authorities.

Penguin Is The World’s First Compact Semi-Submarine

Penguin semi submarine

The wonderful thing in front of you is called Penguin, and it’s the first compact semi-submarine motor boat and probably the hottest new way of exploring the Maldives. Developed by Gocean, this semi-submarine aims to be another cool feature of the world’s premier resorts in the Maldives, Seychelles, and Chengdu in China, offering tourists a new way of relaxing and having fun.

This submersible is capable of diving, but it won’t remain entirely submerged below the water surface. That’s why we could say this Penguin would allow anyone to explore the undersea, even those people who are a little bit afraid of drowning or sinking. There are no complicated controls or operations either, thus allowing tourists full enjoyment of the fantastic underwater life.

Along with exploration under the sea, the Penguin also offers the possibility of fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving or sunbathing. And the best thing might be that this vessel is also eco friendly, using only an electric motor, which promises 8 hours of running, so it won’t discharge any pollutants, nor will it damage nature.

Penguin seems to be an inspired name for this semi-submersible, although these adorable creatures are more often seen in cold waters. I guess just a few of us would have the desire to explore them and experience the cold.

(주)POL, (주)EPG, 전라남도 영암에서 개최된 현대 자동차 보유 고객을 대상으로한 [제11회 현대자동차 오토갬핑 서킷 페스티벌] 에 참여.

현대자동차 오토캠핑은 최근 자동차 레저 문화의 트랜드로 자리잡고 있는 오토캠핑을 통해 고객들에게 즐겁고 색다른 경험을 제공하고자 2009년부터 꾸준히 진행된 고객초청행사다.

올해는 실제 레이싱 대회에 사용되는 서킷을 경험할 수 있는 전라남도 영암 코리아 인터내셔널 서킷(KIC) 내 캠핑장에 고객 총 150 가족을 초대해 10월 24~25일, 1박 2일 일정으로 개최되었다.

현대차는 캠핑 장비가 없는 100 가족에게는 캠핑 용품 및 장소를 무상으로 대여하고 캠핑 장비 보유 50 가족에게는 캠핑장을 무상으로 제공하였으며, 현장에서는 가족들이 함께 즐길 수 있는 레이레이션 체험존, 올림푸스 포토존과 같은 체험행사와 투싼, 싼타페, 맥스크루즈 등 현대자동차 SUV 차량도 전시했다.
