Our lives are enriched by experiences

The ocean is mysterious and an exciting place to explore, but there are limited ways for us to access it

Traditional submarines are beginning to be used privately, but are too heavy and complex for large scale recreation

Problem:

SolutionDeepFlight Personal Submarines

• Intrinsically safe: automatically floats back to the surface

• Lightweight, engaging, easy to use• Proven through 5 successful generations since ‘96

Page 4: DeepFlight Pitch Deck

Competitive Strengths

• 3 companies, all building traditional submarines• Single-product companies• Products weigh 8-20K lbs, require specialized

equipment and a very large yacht• Sink down to depth, can get stuck on the bottom

• Unique, patented product line, high barriers to entry• Products weigh 1k-4K lbs, easy to stow, launch, and

recover• Delivers a unique and superior experience• Intrinsic safety: will always automatically float back

to the surface

Superyacht Market

• Currently 6,290 superyachts > 24m worldwide, with 735 under construction

• Competing submarines too heavy: physically can fit onto only 8% of superyachts

• DeepFlight submarines are compact and light, can fit aboard 90% of superyachts

• Projections: 0.1% of superyachts will add a DeepFlight by 2016 ($10M revenue), 1% by 2020 ($80M revenue)

Undersea Tourism• Discerning clientele looking for unique

adventures• Space tourism market is projected to
