Hey everyone. I'm a final year Product Design Student at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. I'm currently on my graduation project which I have decided to focus on my love of scuba diving.
I have been doing some research into different areas of scuba diving where I could produce an innovative peice of equipment that will change the way people dive in the future.
I have decided that I want to focus on the underwater navigation for either diving instructors who are diving with a group of unqualified or recreational divers. I have decided to look further into current navigational computers etc and see if I can incorporate a navigational system into a mask either full faced or regular via a head up display to help with navigation to specific dive locations which would be pre programmed onto the computer.
i'm just posting this thread to guys and girls like you who are experts and know the market to see whether this idea is desirable to you.
Any feedback on this idea or of current products on the market woul dbe greatly appreciated.
Also ideas of what you would like to see in the future of diving equipment and technology would be interesting to hear.
Thanks all
