A company called Deep has published plans to create a base underwater that could support human life and work for prolonged periods. The base is expected to be located up to 200 meters below the ocean surface; It is expected to accommodate six or more people. Indeed, this project will lead humanity to be an aquatic species, where the continuous human presence will begin with its first deployment.
The company is located in Glouceseshire along the Welsh border and establishes comparisons between its project and the International Space Station, pointing out the potential to revolutionize human life under water.
Since the oceans cover two thirds of the planet and are responsible for delivering crucial oxygen, it is likely that this initiative will throw a new light on the areas of the ocean of which we still know very little, as seen in the expansion of knowledge in the Space exploration. .
“The sentinel platform is not a product, it is a system, which includes the Centinel habitat In itself, of course, but also the next generation of deep submersibles, costumes and a holistic training and safety operating system developed and delivered through the Deep Institute in our campus ” Steve Etherton notesPresident (EMEA). “While the sentinel system is undenically innovative, it represents only a first step to build a robust organization to allow a deeper understanding of the ocean. NASA is not a rocket manufacturer, and also the deep is not just a sentinel manufacturer.”
After two years of intensive research and pioneer in advanced manufacturing processes and the science of advanced materials, including the design of the highest manufacturing capacity of WAAM 3D in Europe, Deep has received design approval in principle of DNV, a of the main certification and classification of the world. authorities.
“He Sentinela system It is not theoretical, they are not only marketed to help raise capital or generate interest; We are already well in advanced engineering and approval. The manufacture has already begun, “says Michael Shackleford, president of Deep (global infrastructure).
