About
Unique Group
A spirit of exploration. An endless curiosity about our seas and oceans and an ambition to support your subsea endeavors. These are the defining principles behind the Unique Group success story.
Unique Group began as a small team with a big vision in a garage in the United Arab Emirates in 1993. Over the past 30 years, we’ve grown into a global organization with more than 18 locations worldwide, driven by the dedication of our 650+ employees and a relentless commitment to innovation. Our journey has led to the establishment of strong engineering capabilities and global manufacturing facilities in South Africa, the UK, and the UAE, where we produce advanced engineering solutions like saturation and air dive systems, as well as mission equipment such as Launch & Recovery Systems (LARS), PLET Handling Systems, and much more.
With over 200 engineers across the company, we provide bespoke engineering solutions and consultancy services, embodying our philosophy of Deep Imagination. We can build anything you envision, offering a comprehensive range of equipment for both sale and rental to ensure our clients have the right tools for their projects. Our operations are structured around six key divisions: Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV), Survey Equipment, Buoyancy + Water Weights®, Diving + Life Support, Lifting + Mooring, and Bespoke Engineering Solutions.
Our in-house R&D team plays a crucial role in driving innovation, enabling us to develop products under the Unique label and venture into emerging sectors such as medical technology and environmental conservation.
We continually adapt to meet the evolving needs of the subsea, renewables, maritime, and energy sectors, consistently striving to enhance safety and efficiency in our clients’ operations.

Deep Imagination
Our seas and oceans constitute a world we still know little about. Much of it remains unexplored: a beguiling, mystery-laden and challenging world.
It takes deep imagination to take us there. It’s about envisioning a world beyond today’s horizon of possibility. About exploring new depths and reaching new heights of success.
We give you the tools to go beyond the everyday: to discover, to move forward, to achieve.
Imagine your possibilities and together let’s accomplish them.
