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.

DEEP Manufacturing, based in Avonmouth (Bristol) offers advanced manufacturing capabilities and expertise in large-format metal additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping and material testing. Our advanced manufacturing facilities include a state-of-the‑art robotics suite, offering 3D printing services and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) capabilities which means we can deliver manufacturing projects in less time and at lower…
