deep water seapod

As we venture into yet another exciting phase of SeaPod construction, we’re ready to welcome the mysteries of the unknown, to triumph over what may seem unmasterable, and to reimagine the realms of possibility.The time has arrived. Early morning at the factory, and the team started off by carefully moving the brand new Eco Pod…

SeaPods, the future of sustainable ocean living, are taking shape within the Ocean Builders factory located in the picturesque Linton Bay Marina. At present, our dedicated team is hard at work assembling the very first Deep Water Model.These revolutionary creations primarily consist of two crucial components: the sturdy steel Spar forming the bottom, and the…

The word all Ocean Builders’ team has in its mind these days is “Buoyancy”. Why? Because as we were in the process of lowering the underwater room’s spar into the water, we had to make sure that our engineering is top-notch so that everything works out for the SeaPod Alpha Deep.The Science of BuoyancyThe act…

Lunchtime had arrived, and the spar had finally reached the marina’s loading dock. As fortune would have it, nature had graced us with a windless, tranquil day, making the anticipated task less unnerving but by no means less intricate.When Ocean Builders embarked on a venture, the world’s eyes were inevitably drawn, and that day was…

Embarking on a new venture is a mix of exhilaration and trepidation. That initial step into the entrepreneurial world triggers an adrenaline rush, but it’s also accompanied by a subtle layer of anxiety. This balance between excitement and apprehension is the very force driving innovation. Our latest addition, the SeaPod Deep, is being assembled and…

We’re excited to share that we’ve achieved a huge milestone. This week we launched our new innovation in Aquatic Living and it is a milestone 5 years in the making. Our new Deep Water model with an underwater room is now floating on the ocean 3.5 kilometers away from our factory in Panama. The video…

We have been a bit short of updating you on the work going on at the factory, and we apologize for that. But that’s because we have been very busy as our team worked very hard behind the scenes on the Pod deep water model, the SeaPod Alpha Deep!Today, we have Connor Firmender,head of global…

The crew has been working on getting the floor of the new Deep Water SeaPod Eco installed and it’s coming along nicely!Installing the floor requires quite a few steps. We start with building the subfloor and all bulkhead supports beneath the floor. This acts as the foundation and provides the structure and support to hold…

Here we have a look at the master plug for the walls of the SeaPod Eco model. This plug is the exact shape of the final product and will be used to create the production molds which are negative molds. Having the production molds ready to go means that we can start full-speed production of…

On our factory update today, we want to show you how we are working with steel to create an underwater room. Yes, THAT! Underwater….room! As you can imagine, it’s a rather complicated process altogether, even though we are well equipped to deal with that kind of task.It differs from the tubes we usually make because…

The spar manufacturing is now in full production mode thanks to our innovative spar winding machinery. It’s fiberglass time everyone!We have definitely evolved from our first spar building that took 3 months, as the new method will drastically improve our production time to about 3 weeks. We are so thrilled that things are progressing so…

In today’s factory update, we have a lot to show you. The subfloor of the SeaPod Eco model number 2 is almost done, and the spar winder mechanism is also progressing very well!On the subfloor topic, we have worked very hard to complete the second half and we have already assembled together the 26 sections…

We are now entering production mode of our SeaPod Eco models and unit number 2 is now in progress!Specifically, we are now working on the subfloor section of the Pod. What you can see is worth 2 days of work, so that is quite impressive. The bottom section should be completed within a week prior…

We have a cylinder! The flat piece of fiberglass that we started with is starting to take the shape of a 5.5 meters long cylinder. It is still thin enough for us to roll it into a cylinder and we are using round guides on the inside of the tube to help get it as…

What you see here is what will be the center spar of the SeaPod Eco unit #2! Now, you may be wondering how this big flat square of fiberglass will become the cylindrical tube shape that our spars have. It may not look like it now, but there is a method to our madness!So we…

The guys have been making some serious progress on the subfloor section for SeaPod Eco Unit #2! As you can see in the video below, the crew is wrapping up some finishing work on the final section and it’ll be installed with the rest of the sections this afternoon!It takes quite a bit of work…

Things are rolling again here at the factory now that we have started the production process on the second SeaPod Eco unit. We are delighted with the first unit that everyone got to check out at the global launch and now it is time to get the second one built.As you can see here, we…

Ocean Builders is of course synonymous with innovation. Sometimes, this research and development is focusing on new technologies, sometimes on lifestyle, but sometimes it also relates to fun.More precisely in this article’s case, it relates to making adult’s toys easier to handle, increasing the amount of fun.Indeed, we all have these fun toys we really…

The SeaPod models that you have been seeing us work on during the last year have been designed for shallow water, no more than 25 meters(or about 80 feet) deep. These designs are mounted on the TriPod base which provides all of the buoyancy, stabilization, and structure.We have a different approach for the deep water…
