DISTREAM – a scuba tank for shallow waters

The Dysticus Marginalis, commonly known as Great Diving Beetle, is a beetle that lives in Europe. Its main peculiarity is its ability to breath and live is life partially underwater. Through evolution this species developed fin-like legs and an airtight elytra that can store air bubbles, allowing him to breathe underwater for 30 minutes without resurfacing.

DISTREAM is a scuba tank that allows underwater breathing and agility in shallow waters. Designed for learners, it can go down to a depth of maximum five to seven meters. Its streamlined shape takes inspiration from the elytras of the diving beetle.
