Needs of the Diving Industry

[ajames54]

reponses... whether it is needs for equipment that is not developed yet,

personally the one thing I really want is dive planning / logging software for a PDA .. I have no desire to take a laptop diving, And I much prefer My data on a PC where I can do research..

I would think that underwater communication could be something that needs to be improved upon. I understand that most underwater radio devices require the use of a full faced mask, but what about an electronic message screen that you could have on your wrist that one could use to pass messages back and forth on? I am thinking of something like an underwater PDA. It could allow you to send a message to a lost buddy, or a reminder to check your air. I would think this could allow the common buddy system to expand a little. Just an idea...

Didn't they have something like that in "The Abyss" (the movie) ??

Yup, but only on the 'deep' suit. Storyline says that you can't talk when flooded with hydrocarbon emulsion. Makes sense.
