TheVIS App addresses a critical gap in the marine community by providing real-time underwater condition reports. Designed for water sports enthusiasts such as divers, freedivers, and ocean swimmers, the app empowers users with crucial data, including visibility, temperature gradients, and local currents—factors often unavailable in conventional weather platforms.

Driven by user-generated content, TheVIS fosters a collaborative community where users contribute post-dive condition reports, track their activities via personalized dive logs, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Featuring an intuitive interface, detailed dive site profiles, and integration with social media and weather apps, TheVIS enhances planning, safety, and enjoyment for underwater activities.

This project highlights a thoughtful design process, from identifying the needs of the niche audience through surveys and empathy mapping to delivering a polished Figma prototype showcasing a sleek, functional app.
