DOER was founded in 1992 by Dr. Sylvia Earle as Deep Ocean Exploration and Research, a marine consulting firm.
Building underwater vehicles is a fascinating and complex field that involves designing and constructing machines capable of navigating the underwater environment. These vehicles, ranging from small remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to large manned submersibles, are engineered to withstand the immense pressure and harsh conditions found beneath the ocean's surface.
Our vehicles are used for deep-sea exploration, marine biology research, and even underwater archaeology.
The design of underwater vehicles often integrates advanced technologies in propulsion, navigation, and communication systems, enabling them to carry out a wide array of tasks, from scientific data collection to search and rescue missions. The development of these vehicles continues to push the boundaries of oceanic exploration, offering new insights into the least explored areas of our planet.
Aside from building underwater vehicles and submersibles, we also specialize in providing top-tier custom machining services for the marine research and exploration sector. Our machine shop has an array of machine tools
Supporting and training staff to operate our submersibles is one of our top priorities. We help pilots and support staff understand the highly specialized field of piloting and maintenance that comes with our bespoke vehicles.
With a breadth of specialities and expertise, DOER Marine is able to offer consulting services on a myriad of different topics. We are here to hep from feasibility studies to serving as expert witnesses.
