English Engineering Pty Ltd, Australia, is operating in Cairns since 1978 and has an established reputation as the world leader in semi submarine technology.

English Engineering Australia's first semi submarine built in 1984 revolutionised tourist reef viewing which spurred 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 Australia along side the semi submarines.

English Engineering Australia has constructed in excess of 50 semi-submersible viewers for the national and international market and Subsee continues its innovations for viewing the underwater realm, with the latest concept now under construction at their Cairns factory.

The innovative "Omniview" semi submarine, with an impressive underwater viewing area of 34mē will give passengers a truly immersed sensation (compared to a viewing area of 14mē aboard previous vessels with identical passenger capacity).

Demonstrating its versatility English Engineering Australia has recently designed and constructed a unique 24 metre, 38 berth live aboard dive vessel, the first apparently to be constructed on the Australian east coast for quite some time.

Prodive, the Cairns based owners, liased with English Engineering Australia to produce a vessel to satisfy the most discerning international diver. Customer reaction is excellent and Prodive wish to introduce a sister ship, again built by English Engineering, as soon as possible.

Also under development in its factory and nearing completion is the first ever Sub-X-Cursion viewer, which has the potential to alter reef tourism. With the viewing pod retracted, the Sub-X-Cursion viewer is a 25 knot cruise vessel.

In the viewing mode, with the passenger compartment extended underwater, an operator is not bound to a traditional moored pontoon/semi submarine facility, but can offer its passengers the optimum viewing sites on the day as determined by water clarity, weather conditions and marine life.

English Engineering Australia can provide services to conduct site surveys, market research and advice on tourism ventures, as it has the experience as a semi-submarine/coral viewing operator.

English Engineering has current interest in several international joint ventures and can offer entire packages (pontoon, transfer vessel and under water viewing craft) and will consider further joint ventures.
