Patrick Lahey is the co-founder of Triton Submarines. During a 40 year long career in the underwater business, Patrick has participated in the manufacture, testing and operation of numerous underwater vehicles and diving systems including over 60 human occupied submersibles. In his role at Triton Submarines, Patrick has overseen the development of their entire range of submersibles, including the Triton 36,000/2 (named Limiting Factor), which is the first and only full ocean depth capable submersible to be fully accredited by an internationally recognized third party classification society and intended for daily use at any depth. Patrick has made five dives to the Mariana Trench. During the certification dive in the Mariana Trench in 2019, Patrick together with the DNV surveyor, Jonathan Struwe, completed the world’s deepest ever salvage operation at 35,853 feet (10,928 meters).
