There was a company that had a prototype several years ago. It had 3 different colored leds. You could come up with color combo codes. All 3, emergency, just the red, let's all ascend, just blue, come look at what I found, etc...
But I never saw it produced... so I guess it never made it off the inventors wrist. I just use the Hammerhead

It is not electronic but they make "dive quackers". They are devices that attache inline with your LP inflator hose (i.e. Hose goes from the 1st stage to the quacker and the quacker attaches to inflator). When you push its button, it makes a loud quacking noise that can be heard for a good distance underwater.
Novel concept, dive buddy in arms reach where he/she should be in the first place. IMHO.

Aside from Pasley's wise wordschris456:
why a pager? I gather more people these days use cell phones above the water, so why not use UW comms?pasley:
You'll still have to press a button as they're one way radios, but having used OTS Buddy Phone and SSB2010 I wouldn't want to settle for a pager. Those not only allow diver to diver communication, but also with surface units. If you use electronic comms underwater, you might as well get the full benefit.
