Brief

S&R is an industry-renowned private institute specializing in professional training for Search & Recovery divers. 


The institute approached SMPL for design services in designing a new proprietary diving headset capable of assisting divers while at sea. 


The headset should be compatible with relevant scuba equipment & diving accessories, take into consideration common search methods, and have the ability to capture high quality imagery while underwater. The product should be optimized to ensure diver safety, enhance diver productivity and enable clear communication with crew.

The Story

Search and recovery is the act of locating and retrieving a missing person when it has been determined that they are beyond rescue, also includes the retrieval of valuable objects such as police evidence or overboard vessel equipment.

Under water remains in an analog world while modern technology constantly pushes its edge toward other fields. Hence, S&R, an industry-renowned private institute specializing in professional training for Search & Recovery divers tasked us to design a smart headset that assists professional S&R divers with their jobs and fully enhance their experience under water with the caution of maintaining Ocean’s ecosystem.

Search & Recovery

Search and recovery is the act of locating and retrieving a missing person when it has been determined that they are beyond rescue. Additionally, search and recovery include the retrieval of valuable objects such as police evidence or overboard vessel equipment.

In underwater search and recovery, the goal is to find and retrieve the victim or object of interest safely and quickly.
