Inspired by a passion for scuba diving, the project explores how design can help individuals remain calm within the unknown depths of the sea.

I created 60 exploratory sketches of diver wristbands after measuring wrists for anthropometrics, focusing on how the wrist is one of the fastest and most visible points to access in a moment of panic. Each form tests proportion, texture, and fastening systems to ensure the band can be located and understood instantly underwater.

The final model consisted of (core/coating) which achieved the goal of perfect flexibility for divers underwater.

The features included a gps system with co-ordinates, an analog map, and a panic button.

Say goodbye to underwater hide-and-seek. AquaNav is a clever little device that helps divers stay connected with their dive buddies and groups—no matter how murky the waters get. With real-time tracking, sonar smarts, and a super friendly interface, it takes the stress out of underwater navigation. Whether you're chasing fish, exploring wrecks, or just vibing under the sea, AquaNav makes sure you're never too far from your crew.

For the final model, I used Agilus flexible 3D printing to create the wristband. The first versions were too soft, so I balanced the Agilus with a resin core to achieve the right level of flexibility.

When doing user testing with low fidelity models, the materials chosen were quite ridged and hard (foam and acrylic), therefore hurting the user whilst wearing and removing it.
