Innovative Technology Solutions
At Down Deep Drones, we are at the forefront of drone innovation, developing groundbreaking aerial and underwater systems with a singular focus: protecting and restoring our planet's ecosystems. Based in Queensland, Australia, we design and manufacture a suite of world-first technologies aimed at addressing critical environmental issues.
Our portfolio includes an underwater drone for marine debris collection, as well as specialised solutions for invasive species management, such as drones for culling sea urchins and a targeted injection system for Crown-of-Thorns starfish.
We are also committed to creating sustainable solutions for island communities. Our unique speargun-mounted underwater drone offers a targeted, no-bycatch fishing method. It's a carbon-neutral tool that empowers communities, particularly those with limited resources, to access fishing grounds without the need for a boat or extensive gear.
We are dedicated to building a healthier, more sustainable future through our advanced and eco-friendly drone technology with intervention tools that support sustainable communitites
