Edward Lai: The Visionary Behind Nauticam

Edward Lai, the founder and Managing Director of Nauticam, spent over two decades designing and manufacturing high-precision injection molds for various industries, including electronics, automobiles, and healthcare. From 1993 to 2003, he served as the chairman of the Hong Kong Mold and Die Council, solidifying his expertise.

The Birth of Nauticam

In 2008, Edward saw an opportunity. As an avid diver and photographer, he believed his skills could greatly improve the underwater housings available to divers. With this vision, Edward founded Nauticam. His deep knowledge of engineering and plastic injection molding led to the creation of more advanced products than ever before.

Growth and Innovation

Since its inception, Nauticam's design and manufacturing team has expanded significantly. This growth allows the company to deliver new housings to customers more quickly than competitors. Despite this expansion, Nauticam's core approach remains unchanged. The company continues to use extensive engineering and the most advanced production methods available. This commitment ensures that divers receive the best, most ergonomic, and intuitive housings and accessories.

Recognition and Global Impact

Nauticam's housings are recognized as true design and engineering marvels. The company has earned eight international patents, with more pending. Nauticam has received many accolades, including three prestigious Red Dot Design Awards and the Consumer Product Design Grand Award at the 2013 Hong Kong Award for Industries. We take great pride in creating the most advanced and user-friendly housings on the market.
