OK, I will throw a bone to the Diverguard guys
If they wanted to market this product to be used with the CCR Rebreathers, then suddenly much of it's functionality would make sense.
One of the dominant cause of death failures on the CCR's is hypoxia from failed 02 injection, or incorrect mix....which cause loss of consciousness and a failure to breath....
This product WOULD have potentially saved several of the dead CCR divers, particularly the ones that were diving solo ( as long as a boat or crew was scanning the surfAce in their area.
Ultimately, there is no arguing that a real Dive Buddy would be the far better investment ( time investment)----but we do know that there are many CCR divers that prefer to dive solo--so this would be a valid emergency system for them.
