Emergency device to be worn by divers
It is described an emergency device (100) for divers comprising a watertight case (101) structured to assume a submerged position and an emerged position. The watertight case includes: a depth sensor (102) configured to determine a depth value associated with the submerged position assumed by the emergency device when a user activates an emergency procedure; a positioning device (103) configured to determine a geographic position, including latitude and longitude, assumed by the emergency device (100) in the emerged position; a GSM or satellite telephone transmitter/receiver (104) configured to transmit an emergency message comprising said depth value and said geographic position.
Scuba tank air pressure monitor system
A scuba tank pressure monitor system comprises a scuba tank pod and a wearable electronic device. The scuba tank pod includes an air pressure detector, a first transducer element, and a first processing element. The air pressure detector detects an internal air pressure of the scuba tank. The first transducer element transmits sonar waves including scuba tank related status data having a first frequency range. The first processing element controls the first transducer element to transmit sonar waves including the scuba tank related status data. The wearable electronic device includes a second transducer element, and a second processing element. The second transducer element receive sonar waves including the scuba tank related status data from the scuba tank pod and transmits sonar waves including alert tones having a second frequency range. The second processing element controls the second transducer element to transmit sonar waves including the alert tones.

Diving Computer with Coupled Antenna and Water Contact Assembly
A diving computer with coupled antenna and a water contact assembly is disclosed. The diving computer has at least one radiator element located on or connected to an outermost surface of a bezel of the diving computer and a radio unit having a conductive coupling to said radiator element, for enabling wireless communication between said diving computer and external devices. A conductive water contact surface extends through the housing of the diving computer and a water contact detector circuit is arranged, as a part of an underwater condition sensing circuit, to sense an underwater condition of the device. When water establishes a current path through said underwater condition sensing circuit from the water contact surface to ground, the sensing circuit provides an indication of an underwater condition to the diving computer.
