Team Oceans has created a new scuba dived computer
complete with buddy communication system which they have launched via
Kickstarter this week. With early bird pledges available from £ 250 offering a
considerable 40% saving of the recommended retail price which will take effect
once the campaign comes to an end.
Development team behind the Oceans S1 Supersonic
dive computer and buddy communication system explain more about its
inspiration. “Hand signals work well, but they’re hampered by one obvious caveat:
the signals rely on divers looking at each other. But improving underwater
communication is hard and radio waves used for communications on land fade out
instantly under water. In addition to high-end features like a retina class
color display, 3-axis digital compass, haptic feedback and wireless charging,
we’re adding a new dimension to recreational dive computers — buddy
communication. “
