For a vehicle to wear the iconic Aston Martin wings, it must be equipped with all the performance, beauty and elegance one has come to expect from the British marque. To earn the trident logo, the submersible must be safe, reliable and offer its passengers near 360 degrees visibility. Project Neptune checks all the boxes.

The Project Neptune submersible will be able to dive to depths of 500 metres and carry two passengers and a pilot. By improving the hydrodynamic efficiency, reducing frontal area, and increasing the power; the submersible will have an anticipated sprint speed of 5 knots and approximately four times the acceleration of Triton’s flagship 3300/3 model.
