Who we are

DEEP is an international design and engineering company on a mission to make humans aquatic. We’re doing this by advancing ocean exploration through the development of new technologies that will enable humans to live and work in underwater environments for longer periods of time.

95% of the ocean is unexplored. Countless discoveries are waiting to be made, and knowledge gained, that will benefit our planet and all of humanity. The challenge is access, and that’s where DEEP comes in. We’re building subsea human habitats to enable research at depth and increase our understanding of the ocean, so we can help protect it.

 

Working at DEEP

We’re a team of highly experienced engineering, operations and safety experts, with a funding model that allows us the freedom to think long term and pursue our mission without traditional restraints. We want to drive progress at the forefront of deep-sea innovation and discovery to become stewards of the ocean and reshape our relationship with our planet.

As an organization with multi-generational objectives and ambitious goals, the values we bring to work every day are critical:

Be Curious – Find a better way and ask why not?”. Answers are easy, questions are hard – ask original questions and be a curiosity catalyst!
