Exitpoint Navigation System, Safer Diving Through SonarStumble This


exit_point
Exitpoint is an interesting piece of concept diving technology, which could potentially reduce one of the biggest dangers that inexperienced divers face, getting separated from their buddies. It provides divers with real-time information as to the location of their buddies and the exit point and works by triangulating the positions between divers and the boat. An alert is issued if a diver starts to stray out of range.

Most of the SCUBA diving accidents that I have heard of have involved a diver becoming separated, so a system like this looks to be an excellent idea, and you have to love the titanium and gun metal look. My only suggestion would be to incorporate a digital compass, so it doesn’t become another piece of equipment. [Yanko Design via Ubergizmo]
