Am I the only one who thinks a GPS designed for Scuba is a good idea? I realize the satellite signals won't penetrate the water, but it seems to me that a waterproof unit could come in real handy for tracking where you entered the water on the beach, where you ascend after kicking out, and where you surfaced. I could be a tool, along with your compass bearings, to help you (or help a friend) find that reef or other landmark that you came across a few months or years ago. It wouldn't have to function under water, but it would have to be waterproof to depth so you can keep it with you. It also wouldn't have to have an integrated map, but I suppose it could. Maybe it would be integrated with your computer. Coordinate information would then be uploaded to your dive log along with everything else.
I'm just thinking out loud. (Sometimes that gets me in trouble!) Anyone have any thoughts? Maybe the manufacturers are listening!
