What's Unique About Our Subs?

Our designs make it possible to build portable submersibles that don’t require a dedicated mothership but also provide greater tools than on other subs today. This means accessibility to our tools for the scientists in the field who otherwise wouldn’t be able to conduct their research.

Who Can Use Them?

Our subs will be able to be used for a much wider audience than the costly private vessels now available. They will be able to be utilized by researchers as well as private citizens either conducting citizen science, or to enjoy the splendors of the deep as an interested visitor traveling to a realm where very few have gone before. Truly, deep sea tourism.

We can collaborate with those who have access to research and ecotourism vessels. Our submersibles are especially useful to university research groups who can collect data that answers important questions. Anyone in need of these submarines for these scientific goals will have access and support on an expedition basis.

If you are in need of our submarines for your research, we want to hear from you and invite you to become a friend and collaborator. Be among the first to discover the depths of science with Deep HOPE.

Everyone will be able to learn from the data gathered by our subs as we’re not just building subs. We’re also building a scientific network that will share data between groups so the work will be available for all to benefit.

When Will They Be Available?

We’re raising funds to afford the construction of our designs. It’s no secret that submersibles are expensive. While it takes every contribution to make this happen, our submersibles have been designed to not only reach depths with great tools, but also to be the most affordable to produce. When we reach our goal of $2 million, we can build our subs and provide access that is currently limited to private companies.

The vehicles being used today are mainly operated by the oil and gas industry or advanced ocean institutes. Even the most highly qualified oceanographers and scientists have to pitch to use them, and if successful, their hard-fought access typically comes with a two to five-year wait. We want greater access to knowledge about our ocean depths and we want you to have that too.
