In 2007, their high-powered X1 trimix CCR computer featured a revolutionary tap-based user interface. In 2013 they unveiled the world’s first long range wireless dive computer, the Lynx-AI, based on ultrasonic technology, allowing a diver to monitor his or her own air, as well as the air and location of up to nine other divers within a 100-meter range.

“I’m delighted to join the Huish team and excited about the opportunity to grow the Lynx business. This is just the start and together we intend to take the dive computer business to the next level.”

Margaret Malewski, co-owner and CEO of Liquivision, adds:

“This represents a milestone event for our company. Having grown Liquivision from a small start-up in Vancouver to a successful acquisition by a quality buyer in the form of Huish Outdoors is a real achievement for our team. We couldn’t be happier.”
