Autonomously Surveying England’s Only Loch
Recently, Teledyne Marine joined forces with Maritime Robotics and DEEP to survey DEEP’s quarry lake, affectionately referred to as Loch Lyr, a unique site in the Wye Valley.
Loch Lyr serves as the centrepiece of DEEP Campus, a cutting-edge facility developed by the visionary company DEEP, whose mission is to “make humans aquatic.”
Spanning 50 acres, this former National Dive Center offers an unparalleled environment for testing subsea equipment, developing methodologies, and training personnel in controlled conditions. The loch itself stretches 500 meters in length, up to 125 meters in width, and plunges to an impressive 80 meters of depth. Its water quality is pristine, maintained by innovative measures such as perimeter curtains designed to limit debris from entering.
