The South China Sea is home to 37% of reef fish species and 76% coral species. Its rich marine life includes giant oysters, sharks, eels, endangered sea turtles, and a variety of seabirds such as great crested terns and streaked shearwaters. How would you experience these wonders sitting in a hotel room? Understanding this, a resort in Vietnam has taken the guest experience several notches higher by diametrically opposite- underwater! Vinpearl complex on Hon Tre Island, have a chance to explore the fascinating marine world with a trip on an air-conditioned 24-person submarine. DeepView 24 can go as deep as 328ft, offering unparalleled views of the amazing aquatic world through massive panoramic 5.5-inch-thick acrylic windows. It comes fitted with electric propulsion and steering, two 20-kW (27-hp) main thrusters, four 12.6-kW (17-hp) Vertran thrusters, and can reach a top speed of 3 knots.

The DeepView subs are made by Triton, a Florida-based company making record-breaking submarines for the billionaires of our world. They are recognized for creating futuristic-looking personal submarines that can dive to a staggering depth of 13,123-feet, such as the 13000/2 TE or the incredible 660 AVA sub that doubles as a high-rollers’ club, a subsea dining venue, or even a cocktail bar.
