Definitions

  • the present invention pertains generally to underwater communication systems and more particularly to an underwater communication system that uses electromagnetic propagation for sending distress signals or other simple information between two or more divers.
  • the invention is based on the use of low-levels electromagnetic propagation to carry simple signals between two or more underwater portable transmitters / receivers.
  • the invention possesses numerous benefits over known communication systems.
  • the invention allows divers to send underwater distress signals or to quickly attract attention of other divers without the need of establishing a visual contact or of generating audible signals.
  • the invention is extremely simple to operate and to maintain. It can also be packaged in a compact, portable envelope (such as a wrist-watch or a clip-on device) or it can be integrated in existing diving equipment (such as tank pressure gauges, depth meters, diving computers, compasses, masks, or others).
  • a compact, portable envelope such as a wrist-watch or a clip-on device
  • existing diving equipment such as tank pressure gauges, depth meters, diving computers, compasses, masks, or others.
  • the invention can be based on reliable, robust and relatively inexpensive technology, making it affordable for recreational, training or professional diving activities.
  • the present invention provides a new, effective and simple way of establishing a communication underwater between divers.
  • the invention hence improves the safety level of diving activities by reducing the risk of delayed or missed communication of critical information and by allowing to rapidly getting attention and / or assistance in case of emergencies.
  • Fig.1 Illustrates a configuration where a couple of associated Underwater Diving Communication Systems can transmit (Tx) / receive (Rx) a signal to / from a corresponding unit in the receiving range.
  • This configuration is typical of a couple of divers where one diver makes use of the invention to attract the attention of his diving partner.
  • Fig.2 Illustrates a configuration where the Underwater Diving Communication System (here called ⁇ Unit A>) can transmit (Tx) a signal which is received (Rx) by all Underwater
  • ⁇ Unit A> the Underwater Diving Communication System
  • Fig.3 Illustrates a configuration where the Underwater Diving Communication System (here called ⁇ Unit A>) can receive a signal and it can identify from which transmitting Underwater Communication System the signal is originating by mean of a specific light-color / sound.
  • This configuration is typical of a group of divers where one member of the group makes use of the invention to attract the attention of the group leader. The group leader can identify which diver sent the distress signal.
  • the device can be embodied into an adjustable or an elastic bracelet.
  • the bracelet can be translucid in order to radiating light when the device is activated.
  • the device can also be embodied into a case which can be clipped to the scuba jacket or it can be fixed to the scuba mask or elsewhere on the diver equipment (like on the air pipes, on the air-regulator, on the air pressure gauge, on the depth meter).
  • the case can be translucid in order to radiating light when the device is activated.
  • An additional device embodied similarly to what described in Fig.5 and in Fig.6 can also be fixed around the air tank as showed in the drawing (Fig.7), by mean of an adjustable bracelet, a strap or an elastic.
  • the additional device would act as a repeater of the light / sound signal received from the main transmitting device, in order to make such signal more visible / audible from behind the diver.
  • different colors can correspond to different transmission channels of the device and hence to different devices IDs. Such embodiment colors can also correspond to different colors of the light emitted by the device when activated.
