===========================
Heps, the Virtual Diver
HEPS is an interactive programme, helps you watch how the body reacts in the underwater environment.
You want to try your stabilizing jacket? Go down 20 meters, inflate your jacket, start with a kick of your fins and watch. The volume and the apparent weight are displayed in real time. During the ascent, the volume keeps rising, the weight keeps decreasing, having an immediate impact on the speed.
Watch your tools and alerts, supervise the ascent of your virtual diver following the safety standards!

It's a Good Day to Dive
