Hands-On World’s First Augmented Reality Scuba Diving Mask

Keep calm and go diving.

If you’re a diving enthusiast and you have been waiting for a high-tech scuba mask, you can stop holding your breath. Scuba S is the world’s first augmented reality scuba diving mask packed with ahead-of-it’s-time technology that provides a scuba diving experience like no other.

The mask is an alternative to high-end pro scuba systems with a heads-up display which will provide useful data such as depth, water temperature, and immersion time. Moreover, the Scuba S features up to 20-pre-selected message chat options that will allow the user to instantly alert other divers within a range of 330 feet. “From the very beginning, we had a vision for the world’s first augmented reality scuba diving mask which by itself is one-of-a-kind already, it is also important to have the best diving computer. But we didn’t want to stop there. Since most of our team members are scuba diving enthusiasts, we are well aware of how limited underwater communications is. It boils down to hand signals that scuba divers have to learn and use in order to communicate,” said Noah Smith, Project Leader. If you’re interested in learning to dive, prodive coogee offers courses on just that!
