    The first contemporary tourist submarine went into operation in 1985.

    Tourist submarines work mainly in tropical resort areas. In 1996, there were over fifty private submarines operating around the world. They served approximately two million passengers that year. Most of these submarines carried between twenty-five and fifty passengers at a time and sometimes made ten or more dives a day. In design, these submarines borrow mainly from research subs, having large windows for passengers' viewing and often placing significant mechanical systems outside the hull to conserve interior space. They are mainly battery-powered and very slow.
