The Divers Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system was developed by the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Coda Octopus. This unit turns a standard rigid diving helmet into a digital information center.

In low visibility conditions caused by silt and plankton, underwater missions can last for hours. Divers diving to depths of more than 40 meters face total darkness, relying only on flashlights and sophisticated communication systems.

DAVD not only improves video and audio quality, but also provides divers with important data: depth and pressure readings, dive timers, gas reserve levels, compass directions, 3D sonar maps and navigation instructions. There are currently about 15 customization options to fit any mission.

The system has already been utilized in a variety of operations, including recovery efforts from the 2023 Maui wildfires and a survey of the USS Arizona war memorial at Pearl Harbor
