Embark on an unparalleled underwater adventure with the KITTREDGE K-250 Submarine, a marvel of engineering designed for enthusiasts and explorers alike. This lightweight submarine is the epitome of convenience and exploration-ready design, easily towable by truck to your next dive site.

Crafted with the spirit of discovery in mind, the K-250 comes equipped with a mechanical claw, allowing you to interact with the ocean’s mysteries by grabbing items from the seabed. Its robust landing gear skids ensure a gentle touchdown on the ocean or lake bottom, making each expedition a smooth experience.

The electrical system of the K-250 is built for simplicity and efficiency, featuring 12VDC and 24VDC systems. While standard 12-volt car batteries are required, they are not included, providing you the flexibility to choose your power source. Navigation is made effortless with the inclusion of a compass and external underwater lights, lighting up the path to underwater wonders.

Life support is a cornerstone of the K-250’s design, featuring a CO2 scrubber to ensure a breathable environment within. While a small O2 tank is necessary, it can be easily acquired at any scuba store, ensuring your explorations are as safe as they are exhilarating.

The ballast system, consisting of two main soft tanks and a small variable ballast tank under the pilot seat, is engineered for precise depth control. Though two ballast air scuba bottles are needed, they are readily available for purchase, allowing for full customization of your buoyancy.

Included with the submarine is a trailer, which requires inspection and maintenance to ensure roadworthiness. The K-250 also features a high-pressure air system, towing lugs for easy transport, dual-point lifting lugs for seamless launching and retrieval, and a shop cart for convenient on-land maneuverability.

Stored within an air-conditioned and heated scuba diving shop, this submarine has been displayed as a testament to underwater exploration potential. Before embarking on your next dive, the K-250 will require maintenance, battery purchases, scuba bottles, and a recommended upgrade of electronics to ensure peak performance.

Choose to purchase the KITTREDGE K-250 “as is” for a project filled with potential, or opt for us to bring it to dive-ready condition. Dive into the depths with confidence and curiosity in the KITTREDGE K-250 Submarine, where the thrill of discovery awaits.
