DEEP : INSTITUTE
Establishing a new academic body for the world of Subsea Operators
DEEP’s mission, to “Make Humans Aquatic,” is nothing short of ambitious. The goal is to establish a permanent human presence subsea through innovative habitation solutions, enabling exploration of the 95% of the ocean floor that remains undiscovered.
Alongside its innovative range of habitats, DEEP is dedicated to advancing the training and certification of Divers and Submersible Pilots—a critical need in an industry where no formal pathway currently exists. At present, aspiring submersible pilots must rely on informal networks, finding someone with a submersible and a willing pilot to teach them. DEEP Institute (internally known as DI) aims to bridge this gap, opening up access to the world of subsea operations and fostering a new generation of certified professionals.
At the heart of the DEEP Institute brand is the Pillar. The Pillar is a timeless symbol of structure, resilience, and the wisdom of the ages. Found in ancient ruins and archaeological sites around the globe, it represents knowledge preserved through history and lessons that endure. For centuries, pillars have been a defining feature of temples, universities, and institutional architecture, signifying longevity and steadfastness.
