PRE-DIVE CHECKS
The vessel Manifests Dive log The bottom Begin descent ↓

Where light ends, we begin.

VANTA builds and pilots crewed submersibles for the deep ocean. This page is a descent — the bottom of it sits at 10,935 metres, and so does ours.

−200m
ENTERING MESOPELAGIC
The twilight zone. The last blue light.
VANTA ONE / HULL 001

A ship that swims against a thousand atmospheres.

An 11.4-tonne titanium sphere wrapped in syntactic foam, launched from a single support vessel. Built to reach the bottom of every ocean on Earth, repeatedly, with three people inside.

DEPTH RATING
11,034m
Full ocean depth. Every trench on the planet is within reach, including Challenger Deep.
PRESSURE HULL
90mm Ti-6Al-4V
Forged titanium sphere. Rated to 1,100 atmospheres, tested to 1,250.
VIEWPORT
380mm acrylic
The largest single-pane viewport in its class. 120 degrees of undistorted deep field.
ENDURANCE
16h submerged
96 hours of redundant life support. Bottom time is limited by the surface, not the air.
CREW
3onboard
One pilot, two mission specialists. Side by side, all facing the viewport.
MASS
11.4tonnes
Light enough to launch and recover from a single vessel, without a dedicated drydock.
−1,000m
ENTERING BATHYPELAGIC
Perpetual night. Bioluminescence begins.
Three reasons to go down

Same hull, same pilot. The manifest changes.

01 / SCIENCE

Fieldwork at full ocean depth.

Every descent carries a research manifest: beam trawls, push cores, Niskin bottles, high-intensity macro imaging. Specimens arrive at the surface pressurised, alive, and labelled.

BATHYMETRYVENT ECOLOGYSPECIMEN RECOVERYPRESSURE-RETAINED SAMPLING
02 / CINEMA

True-depth cinematography.

No recreations, no tank shots, no CGI water. Vanta One is a camera platform that goes to the real bottom, with a real crew, and shoots what is actually there.

8K RAW40,000-LUMEN ARRAYMACRO AT 10,000 M
03 / PRIVATE

Chartered descent for explorers.

Two passengers, one pilot, one trench of your choosing. The same flight path the science and cinema clients use, open to a small number of private expeditions each year.

Dive log

Where Vanta One has been.

Four descents, four trenches, four sets of findings. Each mission is a single hull, a single crew, and a few hours on the bottom.

The trenches. Named for the underworld.

The deep ocean is the largest habitat on Earth and the least visited. Every descent returns with something no human has seen.
