Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers LLC (TDSX) is a manufacturer of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). Based in Tampa Florida, TDSX is passionate about underwater exploration and discovery. Our products are designed to enhance data collection in the deep ocean to depths up to 4000 meters. The TDSX mission is to provide deep sea vehicles that are robust enough to reach great depths at a price point that is affordable for individuals and small institutions. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) participation in the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project desires to synthesize bathymetric data to map all of the world’s ocean floors by the year 2030. One of the goals of the Seabed 2030 project is also to improve the existing subsea data and to “map the gaps” to find areas that are poorly mapped or that have been missed in previous data collections. TDSX is excited to participate in developing the technologies to accomplish the goals of the Seabed 2030 Initiative. If this challenge is to be realized within the designated time frame, thousands of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles will be required, that are capable of collecting data at a rate that is an order of magnitude greater than what is currently on the market. TDSX’s motto of “Deeper, Faster, and Cheaper” recognizes that new technologies will be required that far exceed the capabilities of data collection systems, such as single beam sonar which is commonly used on small ROVs and AUVs. Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers is a registered LLC in the State of Florida and consists of a small team of individuals who are committed to advancing the state-of-the-art of deep sea exploration. TDSX was formed for the purpose of competing in the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE which was sponsored by the XPRIZE Foundation, Shell Oil, and NOAA. Our team was awarded “Runner Up” in the NOAA Challenge portion of the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE (2019) and was one of seventeen semi-finalist teams in the overall competition (2018).
