It's been an interesting and inspiring quarter!
After some challenges were identified with the 2°C Wavelet, through validation and calibration testing - in thanks to the Unistersity of South Florida Tampa Bay Observing Network - we had a breakthrough in design, which has enabled us to take advantage of new technologies that limits the required re-calibration of the conductivity sensor.
This has reduced the overall form factor of the Wavelet design, and more closely matches the inteded desired outcome for use with recreational divers. With a sleek new design, and cradle for data offload and charging, this represents a stepchange in the Wavelet's advance toward everyday use by divers.
Inspiringly, we have also recieved the first order for 2°C Wavelet's, headed to an oceanagrapic science organisation in Europe, further encouraging our efforts to continue the development and production of these sensors.
We continue to sincerely thank our partners, who with very little resources, have continued to work with 2°C to bring about these advances, offering hope to coral reefs in a changing ocean climate.
