Making Humans Aquatic

DEEP exists to radically advance how humankind can access, explore and inhabit underwater environments.

Through flexible, modular subsea habitats, work-class submarines, and advanced human performance research, DEEP completely transforms what we are capable of underwater – and will increase our understanding of life on this planet.

Subsea Habitat systems

Sentinel™ System

The Sentinel™ System opens up an unprecedented level of access to deep ocean environments. Flexible, modular and highly configurable (and indeed rapidly re-configurable), Sentinel brings subsea capabilities, comfort and long-term habitability that have never been experienced – or possible – before.

Submarines

The DEEP Submarine range democratises and dramatically enhances access to the depths of the ocean that have until now remained unreachable. As an extension of the Sentinel™ System, these modular underwater vehicles drive deeper exploration and uninhibited discovery.

Training & Human Performance

DEEP Institute

The DEEP Institute is singular in its focus: to break down the physical and psychological barriers to long-term habitation of the ocean. Its syllabus spans diving activities and disciplines, vocational skills and competencies. Combined, they exceed conventional commercial qualifications.

OFFSHORE OPERATIONS

Expeditions

With multi-disciplined operators, nothing is off-limits. From submersible to Closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) missions, DEEP can deliver or support a wide variety of subsea operations. We have the expertise, procedures and equipment to operate safely in the inherent hostility of the marine environment.

WAAM Robot Arm
Rapid Prototyping & Additive Manufacture

Advanced Manufacturing

Utilise DEEP’s world-class Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) suite. We offer scalable solutions starting with single-arm set-ups, up to one of the world’s largest arrays of synchronised multi-arm systems.

R&D Facilities & Capabilities

Campus

DEEP Campus is a unique and comprehensive facility featuring cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary team capable of delivering the entire lifecycle of subsea product development and personnel training.
