Deep Ocean Search plays a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge through deep-sea exploration and maritime archaeology. By deploying cutting-edge technologies—such as state of the art of subsea technology like high-resolution sonar, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), dedicated sensors and/or payloads, and advanced imaging systems—we are able to access and study regions of the seabed previously unreachable.
Our work supports the discovery and documentation of submerged cultural heritage, including ancient shipwrecks, lost trade routes, and historical artifacts that offer invaluable insight into human history and maritime activity. These findings contribute to academic research, enrich museum collections, and often help resolve long-standing historical mysteries up to 6,000msw (20,000ft)
In addition to uncovering the past, our operations aid in the preservation of underwater sites by mapping and assessing them in detail. This ensures they are recorded and protected from natural degradation or unauthorized exploitation. Our collaborations with universities, museums, and heritage institutions strengthen the global understanding of oceanic history, while also inspiring new generations of marine scientists and archaeologists.
Through this work, we not only expand scientific frontiers but also reaffirm the cultural and historical importance of the oceans—demonstrating how the deep sea holds keys to understanding our shared human heritage. Today, DOS is even able to sample, map and open knowledge of the seabed up to 6,000msw. For governments, NGO or private entities, DOS produces data acquisitions with the latest technology including on remote areas such as ocean ridge or abyssal plain. Mapping the ocean has never been simpler.
