The three main types of submersibles are manned submersibles, unmanned submersibles (also known as remotely operated vehicles or ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Manned submersibles are designed to carry crew members for exploration and research, while ROVs are remotely controlled from the surface and used for various tasks, including inspection and maintenance. AUVs operate independently, equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data without real-time human control. Each type serves specific purposes in underwater exploration and research.
YES, most true submersibles have a 'pilot' and a systems operator. The submersibles that do not carry people are usually called ROV's or AUV's
There are many types of submersibles some of them are; ROV's (Remotely Operated Vehicles), AUV's (Autonomus Underwater Vehicles), MIR-1 and MIR-2 which are operatred by the Shirshov Institute of Oceanography, the Alvin model which is operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the Johnson SeaLink submersible which is operated by the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce, Florida. That is just a few of the types of submersibles out there, if you need more go pick up a Marine Science text book.
Deep sea submersibles help get research from the ocean floor.
Very small, if it even exists. Most submersibles do not carry cargo
Semi-submersibles are preferred for drilling to drillships because of their stability. They are only lowered in the water during drilling. Their ability to float on water makes transportation of rigs easier. The two types of semi-submersibles are bottle-type semisubs and column-stabilized semisubs.

Submersibles work on undersea oilwells, recover practice torpedoes, search for sunken ships or things that have fallen off ships and sunk.
The three types of submersible vehicles are manned submersibles, unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Manned submersibles are designed to carry human occupants for deep-sea exploration, while ROVs are operated from the surface and can be equipped with various tools for tasks like inspection and maintenance. AUVs operate independently, following pre-programmed paths to collect data or perform specific missions without real-time human control. Each type serves different purposes in underwater research and exploration.
Submersibles are commonly used by researchers and security forces such as the navy and the coast guard. The coast guard can use them to inspect the underside of ships for any smuggled items.
One of the major advantage of personal submersibles over scuba gear is you can't feel the changing pressure while ascending and descending.
Submersibles are watercraft designed to operate underwater for scientific research, ocean exploration, and military purposes. They can reach depths that are not easily accessible by humans and are equipped with specialized instruments to study marine life, geological features, and underwater environments. Submersibles come in various sizes and shapes, from small remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to large manned submersibles capable of carrying crew members to extreme depths.
