Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 to 14 will be described. In addition,
In the description of the different embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is different from the first embodiment of the present invention mainly in that a laser is provided between a laser diode 11 and a laser beam switch 3. The underwater communication device 1A having such a configuration in that the laser beam irradiation circuit 4A provided with the laser diode driving device 17 for increasing the brightness of the laser beam of the diode 11 and reducing power consumption is used. The same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

In the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the main difference from the second embodiment of the present invention is that With the use of the mounting tool 7A to which the locking tool 19 is mounted, even the underwater communication tool 1B configured as described above can provide the same operation and effects as those of the second embodiment of the present invention.

The fourth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is different from the second embodiment of the present invention mainly in that a laser diode 11 and an electronic buzzer 14 are connected in parallel.

The same operation and effect as those of the second embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

In each of the embodiments of the present invention, the laser beam switch 3 and the buzzer switch 5 are turned on and off.
The one using the FF switch has been described.
The N and OFF switches 3 and 5 can be fixed to an ON state or an OFF state, or may be ones that are turned ON only when pressed. By using the ON / OFF switch which is turned ON only when the button is pressed in the buzzer circuit 6, the consumption of the battery can be efficiently prevented.

[0019]

As apparent from the above description, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.

(1) It is possible to irradiate a laser beam to the outside by turning on / off a waterproof case body formed in a size that can be held by hand and a switch of a laser beam waterproofly attached to the waterproof case body. A laser beam irradiation circuit including a laser diode capable of being turned on and a buzzer switch mounted in the waterproof case body,
It consists of a buzzer circuit equipped with an electronic buzzer that generates a sound when turned off, so that it is possible to notify that you may want to contact the other party by sound underwater, and to irradiate a laser beam to see the fish you want to see Etc. can be indicated. Therefore, it is possible to easily communicate with the other party.

(2) According to the above (1), since the laser beam looks linear due to fine dirt in the water or plankton, the position of the fish or the like to be seen can be more reliably notified.

(3) According to the above (1), a laser beam or a sound can be emitted. Therefore, in the case of being separated from an underwater friend, for example, it is possible to inform the user of his / her location by the laser beam or a sound and have the other party look for it. In addition, in the event of a distress, irradiation can be performed toward a rescue helicopter or the like, thereby making it easier to be rescued. Therefore, it can also be used as a location finding tool.

(4) According to the above (1), since the structure is simple, it can be easily manufactured.
