Deep Research Labs
Deep Research Labs, d.b.a. DEEP, is an international ocean design and engineering company. The DEEP[1] brand was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Chepstow, United Kingdom.
The company designs, manufactures, and operates subsea human habitats.
Refit of R/P FLIP
R/P FLIP[2] (floating instrument platform) is a semi-submersible ocean research platform.
The U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) withdrew its support for the vessel in 2020[3].
In August 2023, FLIP departed to be scrapped in Mexico[4].
On 23 October 2024, DEEP announced plans to modernize the platform for ocean research. FLIP was transported from Mexico to La Ciotat, France where it is undergoing a refit.[5]
DEEP Manufacturing Limited
DEEP is building subsea human habitats and requires large, customized metal component parts. This led to an investment in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).
DEEP announced the launch of its manufacturing business in January 2025, DEEP Manufacturing.
Based in Bristol, United Kingdom, DEEP Manufacturing uses Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) to produce metal component parts for a range of industries.[6]
