Background

As a diver, I find that it’s not easy to find information that I want to know about diving in Malaysia. Hence, the idea of scuba diving in Malaysia is developed.

Understanding the Problem

Interview survey is conducted with individuals including people who are interested in diving, divers, instructor as well as dive master. Research shows that:

  • People who are interested in diving have difficulty understanding WHY scuba diving needs to attend courses and go through training?

  • Divers find that it is DIFFICULT for them to search for information that they wanted to know.

  • Information is usually spread through the WORD OF MOUTH.

Persona

With our users in mind, we created 2 Persona, Diver Mei and Tauke Ah Kao to guide our design solutions.
