An Ocean Science Solution Designed to Reach New Depths
Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers combines a passion for underwater exploration and discovery with cutting edge tech-based solutions. Designed to withstand pressure at 500-meter depths, the Barracuda AUV is the company’s first autonomous underwater vehicle that can allow users to gather a treasure trove of information with exceptional speed, ease, and accuracy.
*The above clip features the first generation prototype of the Barracuda AUV. We are currently on the 5th generation.
TDSX's commercially available product is subject to change pending feedback from initial customers & official product finalization.
The prototype Barracuda is light enough to be hand launched from nearly any small vessel or shoreline and is expected to be a valuable tool for a variety of applications, including mapping, defense, climatological data collection, scientific measurements, and underwater archeology.
The Problem & Our Solution
Empowering the Next Wave of Deep Sea Exploration
For gathering critical intel beneath the surface of bodies of water, autonomous underwater vehicles are the industry standard. Yet in TDSX’s experience, these vessels tend to be large, cumbersome and require complicated logistics to operate. They also command a substantial price, creating a steep entry barrier for most smaller academic institutions, companies, and consumers. As a solution, Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers’ technologies address both of these obstacles to exploration.

With its compact and streamlined design, the Barracuda can be a cost-effective, professional-quality option capable of collecting significant amounts of data in a short amount of time. It is also designed to offer a number of unique features – including forward-facing optical viewing, dive planes at the center of gravity, small radius turn capabilities, and an AI-enabled machine learning platform – allowing it to recognize obstacles, objects, and animal life, while capturing high-quality images of these elements in the process.

The Market & Our Traction
Navigating Multiple Marketplaces With Our Agile Approach
Leading up to a commercial launch of the Barracuda AUV, TDSX has already experienced favorable reception at high levels within our industry. In 2021, the company was awarded a utility patent for its proprietary technology, placed as a semi-finalist at the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE competition, and was ranked second in the The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s Bonus Prize portion. TDSX has also been awarded a Phase I and a Phase II SBIR from NOAA to support developing their advanced underwater exploration sensor technology.

Having recently completed production of the Barracuda AUV for our first commercial customer, we anticipate rapid growth and expansion in the near future, including development of other new technology and support products that will further build the brand. TDSX’s model has been strategically built to serve multiple markets within the $2B unmanned, underwater vehicle market - including oceanographic institutions for data collection, the oil and gas industry for pipeline inspection and imaging, as well as military operations for reconnaissance and patrol.

Why Invest
An Ocean of Opportunities Awaits Us
As the AUV market continues to see steady expansion, Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers feels confident that our disruptive technology will play an important role in the subsea exploration marketplace, as well as the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project intending to map the entirety of the world’s ocean floors by 2030. If the foundation’s challenge is to be realized, we believe AUVs such as the Barracuda will be needed to carry out a mission of such magnitude.
For investors who share our passion for new technology and this emerging industry, this is an opportunity to help us scale operations and explore even more uncharted territory together. TDSX is excited for the future of our company and hope to have you aboard!
