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.

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!

Be Exceptional – It will take the most intelligent, talented and creative people on the planet working together to achieve DEEP’s mission. Get it done, be relentless in your pursuit of excellence, and demand excellence from everyone.

Be Fearless – No one has done this on the scale we’re doing it before. Impossible things must be done for the first time. We are the team pushing boundaries!

Be Good – Cultivate passion and thrive together. Be safe, take intelligent risks, but never compromise the safety of the team – ever!
