The invention relates to a transportable submersible cabin vessel for sailing on the surface and underwater. It essentially consists of a hull arranged above water and a 1/2-man cabin which can be submerged and lifted to the surface as desired by means of a rail or roller guide mounted perpendicularly to the hull plane. The diving operation is carried out by means of a rope-tackle device, to be operated from the cabin, by the buoyancy forces which counteract the cabin being overcome by mechanical expenditure of force and not as in the conventional manner by force of gravity. For the hull remaining in a static position on the water surface, this reversal of the conventional principle requires approximately twice as heavy a weight as counteracts the cabin during submerging at maximum buoyancy force. This additional weight requirement is met by flooding the hull so that the weight required for the diving operation is not at the expense of the dead weight of the vessel. In the interest of a low total weight, it is proposed to produce the submersible cabin vessel in a lightweight construction.
