The scouting phase focuses on identifying and evaluating the optimal underwater location based on the client’s needs and objectives. This process involves a comprehensive analysis of key environmental and logistical factors, including water depth, temperature stability, light spectrum availability, marine currents, exposure, local flora and fauna, and accessibility. We aim to ensure the site safely and efficiently supports both the biospheres and the agronauts—laying the groundwork for a successful, sustainable installation that harmoniously integrates with its surrounding environment.

The Farm Design phase of a custom Nemo’s Garden involves planning the layout and structure of the underwater site, based on the chosen location and customer desire. This includes selecting the model of biospheres—such as Biosphere 1.1, Biotunnel 2.1, Geosphere 3.0—and deciding how many pods to install. We tailor the design to meet specific cultivation and experience goals, adapt to environmental conditions, and support scalability, ensuring optimal efficiency and sustainability. This may include designing bespoke artificial reef beautification synergic to local coral restoration.

BioSphere 1.1

Our system works with a “star” layout.

One unit is the Master, that features main connection to land. Each master biosphere can welcome up to 5 more “slave” units.

Each unit includes a fully functioning hydroponic system growing 100plants. The Master biosphere includes all sensor systems. All biospheres feature Wifi connectivity (if internet available on land or premise). Each unit has a further 1.6m2 of cultivable surface for microgreens.

The 1.1 comes standard with internal camera (PTZ, or fixed if preferred). Camera allows for video and voice connectivity to land. Lighting included. Fan, pumps included. Monitoring, scheduling app included for utilities.

2m diameter. 1m internal H.

BioTunnel 2.1

Scaled production. Linear shape.

The tunnel is a much larger, higher yield unit. Hydroponic system features at least 4+5x as many single plants position, plus significant real estate cultivable area for microgreens. It is spacious enough for 7-8 operators simultaneously and well-marinized.

4m L x 2m W. internal H exceeds 1m.

You can extend the BioTunnel by adding more modules.

GeoSphere 3.0

The future. Architect’s delight.

The Geosphere is a brilliant invention as it can be assembled underwater.
It is a staggering 3m diam (for now..) and, as the tunnel, it can be heavily customized.

3m dia. internal H exceeds 1,6m.

Just like the BioTunnel, you can increase its size and re-design the modules to reach the desired diameter.

During the Custom Production phase, we build each biosphere to order, integrating client-specific features and configurations. Every structure is assembled using durable, marine-grade materials designed to withstand long-term underwater conditions. Inside, we install advanced systems including hydroponics, lighting, environmental sensors, IoT controls, and communication modules—each optimized for submerged operation. This phase also includes the development of critical infrastructure such as cabling, anchoring systems, and other seabed stabilization elements.

The Deployment phase involves the coordinated installation of all components at the chosen site. This includes the positioning and anchoring of the underwater biospheres, the setup of the Land Control Unit (LCU) for real-time monitoring and system control, and the connection of all cabling and infrastructure. Both the land-based and underwater systems undergo thorough testing to ensure full functionality and seamless integration. Following, SaaS systems activation and training of the local selected team on software use and farm manning. Full remote support completes the package together with periodic scheduled maintenance operations.

Plants growing inside biosphere — Giacomo D'Orlando

Nemo’s Garden offers fully equipped underwater biospheres as research platforms for organizations exploring novel applications in agriculture, biotechnology, or environmental science. These manned units, operated by our expert agronauts, provide a controlled, data-rich environment ideal for testing plant behavior, system performance, and marine-agricultural interactions.
Each collaboration is tailored based on the research scope, with our team supporting system configuration and integration to meet your experimental objectives.

Based on the specific nature and duration of the proposed project, a customized SLAT (Service Level Agreement Template) will be prepared to outline the terms and conditions of the rental. The offer will take into account all technical and operational requirements, ensuring it aligns with the project’s goals. Please note that the minimum rental period is one month, and the use of at least one biosphere is required. This approach guarantees that each project is supported with the appropriate infrastructure and timeframe to achieve meaningful results.
