About

The story of Aquadrone

A passion for the underwater world, an innovative vision!

I am Julien Carrier, the founder of Aquadrone, and I am proud to share our story. I had the privilege of growing up in the heart of the oceans, first in Africa, then in Corsica and Réunion Island. My father was a commercial diver and in charge of large maritime projects, and it was in this environment that I developed a love for water and its infrastructure. Diving, freediving, and even spearfishing were daily activities.

With this maritime heritage and a passion for technology (IT and network management), the idea to create Aquadrone came to life. The company was born from a desire to merge my expertise in technology with my deep love for the ocean. But beyond technology, Aquadrone is also a project driven by a personal commitment: to open the doors of entrepreneurship to those living with a disability. Indeed, I was born with a physical limitation that prevented me from following in my father's footsteps as a commercial diver, but it did not stop me from working in the maritime field. My unique journey has pushed me to think differently and take on unique challenges.

Aquadrone is also the result of a collaboration with my partner, Johannie. Together, we decided to found this company, combining our strengths and skills to create a safe, effective, and accessible underwater inspection and intervention solution.

The story of Aquadrone is just beginning, and with every new wave, we get closer to our vision: revolutionizing the underwater industry while paving the way for an inclusive and innovative future.
