Mapping the Deep for a Better Future
In partnership with robotics and marine researchers to map our reefs using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles — so we know exactly where to harvest and where to let nature rest.

Sustainability starts with knowledge, and the AUV Project gives us exactly that. In partnership with local marine researchers and robotics engineers, we are training Autonomous Underwater Vehicles to map the reefs we dive. The data will tell us which zones are thriving, which need rest, and how species move with the seasons.
For Reiner, it's a meeting point between gut instinct and hard science. Decades of diving experience meet cutting-edge mapping tech — one confirming the other. This research means we don't guess when or where to harvest; we know.
The AUV Project helps ensure the reef's health today and sets a blueprint for future divers. It's proof that small operators can use big tech responsibly — balancing heritage and innovation to protect what matters most.
