My name is Gilbert Lanham and I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Cincinnati. I am proposing a hands-free diving propulsion system for my senior design project. I have written this survey in order to aid the product development process and I would appreciate if you would fill it out.
Please circle the appropriate answer. For questions with ratings, 5 is the best and 1 is the worst.
1. On average, how long is a typical dive for you?
a) 20 min. b) 30 min. c) 40 min. d) 50 min. e) 60 min. f) 70 min. g) 80+ min.
2. How many dives per day do you make?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4+
3. How deep are your typical dives?
a) 50 b) 60 c) 70 d) 80 e) 90 f) 100 g) 110 h) 120 i) 130 j)140 k)150 l) 160+
4. What is the deepest depth that you have gone?
