Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the story behind the Nemo submersible electric drill?
The Nemo drill was originally custom designed and built, one-at-a-time, for scientific and government organizations in 2012. The technology was then adapted into the current commercially available version and small-scale production began in 2013.

The Nemo drill uses technologies generally found in more high-tech products: batteries and electronics from the drones industry, cooling technology from the computer industry, and sealing and fabrication methods from the marine industry.

Today, Nemo drills are being used around the world by commercial divers, pool technicians, research divers, plumbers, boat owners, and more.

How long has the drill been on the market?
It has been on the commercial market since fall 2013.

What types of jobs can you do with Nemo drills?
