About Me

I started Dirigo Deeptech to provide a practical and straightforward way to get new ROV technology to the people that can benefit from it. An underwater ROV provides a safe, efficient, and affordable way to safely and quickly complete jobs. I’m based in Maine and operate primarily in coastal and freshwater environments throughout the state and New England.

My background is in marine engineering and maritime operations. I graduated from Maine Maritime Academy and spent several years working in the maritime industry before returning shoreside, where I now work in the power generation industry. This experience shaped how I approach this business, focused on safety, reliability, and doing things the right way.

Dirigo Deeptech operates a professional-grade Deep Trekker PIVOT ROV that can be rented for a wide range of uses, hull inspections, lobster gear and trap inspection, search and recovery assistance, and general underwater observation. I offer flexible daily, weekly, and longer-term rentals, along with quick, clear training so customers can operate the system confidently.

For customers who prefer additional help, operator-assisted services are available on a case-by-case basis. I also work alongside professional divers by providing pre-dive inspections, locating targets, and improving underwater visibility when conditions are less than ideal.

This business is intentionally kept simple and service-focused. My goal is to provide a dependable tool, clear communication, and honest pricing.

Thank you for your interest,

Joe Hayden
