Flying under water in Turkey? Now you can! If you happened to be at the Palmarina Bodrum in Turkey recently, you might have noticed a strange watercraft cruising around the marina. In fact, DeepFlight, creators of innovative underwater craft, delivered the new DeepFlight Super Falcon high performance personal submarine to Palmarina Bodrum, the only mega/giga yacht marina in Turkey and the first marina to own this super-exciting craft. Guests aboard luxury yachts visiting Turkey will now have the opportunity to enquire about the possibility of flying under water to further enrich their superyacht charter vacation experience.
Super Falcon under water
With more than forty-five years of experience innovating underwater craft to open human access to the oceans, DeepFlight has created DeepFlight Super Falcon personal submarine capable of underwater flight and unparalleled exploration of the amazing underwater world.

As opposed to traditional submarines that dive by allowing water to flood into tanks and sinking them, DeepFlight subs are unique in design and technology. Instead they use thrust and lift to fly underwater, mimicking oceanic mammals. Experiencing the underwater world aboard DeepFlight cannot be compared to a traditional submersible, providing those aboard with a unique and lifetime experience. With the range and significant speed DeepFlight can offer, you can keep pace with whales, dolphins and other sea creatures. DeepFlight submarines can safely and easily do rolls, flips and banks underwater, just like a jet but under water. The DeepFlight Super Falcon, is capable of reaching a rate of 6 knots, which is fast enough to cruise with sharks or a pod of dolphins.

Graham Hawkes, founder of DeepFlight, said about the recent delivery to the marina: “We are very excited that Palmarina Bodrum will be the first marina to own a DeepFlight submarine. Designed for comfort, safety, 360 degree viewing, and the unique experience of underwater flight, Super Falcon is the ideal craft for exploring the beautiful waters of the Turkish Riviera. With its world-class facilities and access to dive destinations, we believe that Palmarina Bodrum will provide an ideal base for submarine operations.”

DeepFlight now has its craft operating from yachts, resorts and other shorebases around the world, and we expect to see these numbers growing as we introduce our next model, DeepFlight Dragon, this year.”

We are very proud to have a pioneering role in managing all exclusive demands in terms of marina operations and offering high end services beyond expectation. Palmarina Bodrum has already turned the region into a world famous sailing destination, and we believe it will soon become known as an unparalleled base for submarine operations.’
