system for technical divers
Our challenge was to design a set of three functionally advanced devices to be used in extreme environments.
The success of the project depended on ergonomics and safety of use in extremely demanding conditions. Many aspects have contributed to the complexity of our design process leading to a globally innovative navigation system.
A global innovation
in technical diving
Translating a highly
advanced technology
into a product
In boundless water expanses or tight passages of underwater caves the devices may be exposed to high pressure and mechanical damage. The products had to be fully waterproof, possible to operate in extremely low temperatures and total darkness by a tech diver wearing thick gloves impairing their perception.
The result of our design work is a set of advanced devices. The Wrist Unit is an innovative combination of a waterproof, pressure-resistant display with a 3D tracker, speedometer and rangefinder. The Navigation Transmitter is a depth transmitter with a DIPS Diver™ positioning system. The Pressure Transmitter is a pressure transducer.
All the three components of the Ariadna Tech system create a comprehensive navigation system for divers.
