The Human Underwater Society

The human immersion technologies to serve the entire society

Human Underwater Society is an independent & civil non-profit organization

Our vocation

To serve general interest by contibuting to impact the arbitration of our societies on scientific and technology orientation matter.

Our mission

Enlight all audiences about the potential of the study of man in the subaquatic space for the general interest, and in particular the sciences & technologies related.

Promote the idea that this thematic field desserve a treatment through a global and integrated approach , such as we do it for outer space, subjecting this experimental constraint to the thoughts of stakeholders of science and innovation in all sectors in the hope of reviving a dynamic of interest on these subjects and bringing about futures solution for the whole society.

Impulse a dynamic by building investment strategies, ecosystems and turnkey projects for new services & products, as growth relays for new markets, allowing to generate value by step through dynamic and evolutive business models and to raise funds at the scale of stakes for human health, environment preservation, the coastal and island population economy, and great humanitaries challenges, current or to come.

ENGINEERING

Our Project Scope

Focusing on : systems – materials – processes

The Individual autonomy

Preservation of our physical integrity
biometry monitoring, studies on limiting factors impacts.

Improvement of our perception and interaction in environment, new sensors – new interfaces between man/machine/signal in water.

Improvement of our individual physical mobility

The Underwater Transportation

The Underwater Habitat

We believe that these aspects will play a major role in the evolution of sciences that govern us and will contribute to the resolution of the next great challenges humanity will face It’s about relation between man and water – between water and human life

THE “P22” PROGRAM
Our program of 22 turnkey engineering projects to develop

« Look human through water : a prism of knowledge, an underexploited potential »

The Rua Hatu Park

Tahiti, French Polynesia

Infrastructure project for awareness U-Park ® :

Rua-Hatu Park « The Tahitian Park of underwater technologies »

A thematic complex :

An emulation complex on the themes of humans immersion :

– a public exhibition and entertainment center dedicated to the awareness of local population and visitors

– a new touristic spot to increase the offer for foreign and local visitors

– an innovation center with a fab-lab and an incubator (to design, to assemble and to test new devices)

– a health center (which will concentrate on rehabilitation, sport and wellness)

– a training and educational center

Our long term perspectives

The importance of our task requires a wide framework, growth opportunities, long-term perspective and unprecedented funding

To meet our mission to educate all audiences,

we have to develop awareness tools and democratize access to water.

In the longer term, once duly funded, here is the roadmap that we propose to implement

Supporting R&D

We have set ourselves the mission of supporting and supporting Research & Development in the fields of breakthrough science and technology with high potential for human immersion and society as a whole.

Build Emulation areas

To reveal the potential of this approach and encourage vocations, we wish to erect places dedicated to cross-disciplinarity in which skills and resources will converge which will integrate too awareness tools for all audiences. The challenge for us is to create places of emulation necessary for the renewal of this disciplinary field in which the interoperable technological bricks of this new sector will be developed.

Structure an economic sector

Be a force of proposal to create the tools that will allow the structuring of a dedicated sector, ensure the funding of leading research, design the tools for certification, control, transfer and technological development, imagine the structures of support, encouragement, incubation and acceleration of innovation focused on products and services. A strategy and framework to boost the placing on the market of technologies through the creation of a dedicated ecosystem for generate synergic growth relay. It is about pooling technical and economic expertise and resources in the service of this cause.
