ENGLISH ENGINEERING

English Engineering has an established reputation as the world leader in semi-submarine technology.  

English Engineering/Subsee Australia built Australia's first semi-submarine in 1984, which revolutionised tourist reef viewing and encouraged reef tourist operators to introduce the new technology. English Engineering has continually developed the semi-submarine to a sophisticated design, yet practical to operate.

The English Engineering semi-submarines are still very much in demand. Numerous other aluminium fast ferries, tourist pontoons and glass bottom boats have been developed by English Engineering alongside the semi-submarines.

English Engineering has constructed in excess of 50 semi-submersible viewers for the national and international market and continues its innovations for viewing the underwater realm.

The innovative "Omniviewer" semi-submarine, with an impressive underwater viewing area of 34m² gives passengers a truly immersed sensation, compared to a viewing area of 14m² aboard previous vessels with identical passenger capacity.
