Guess it. Win it! .... Smartphone Dive Camera & Computer

Regardless whether this is the function or not, you've hit in a great idea. "Tap for bookmark".

Thanks!

Apparently posting in this thread has also raised my number of likes received. It's THROUGH THE ROOF. Thanks, DiveNav.

To continue:

5) Your bluebuddy vibrates when your buddy presses a button on his/her bluebuddy. Gets your attention without making a racket.

6) Your bluebuddy lights up when your buddy presses a button on his/her bluebuddy.

7) The bluebuddy is now some sort of emergency missing-diver-location device as well.

8) The bluebuddy is now random-colour-of-your-choice-buddy. It changes colours faster than a cuttlefish when shaken or tapped hard. It can also squirt ink to confuse a potential predator.

9) It is now a disguised underwater handheld weapon to prevent illegal reef fish collectors from snatching the regulator out of your mouth while you were policing the waters (or after the fact). http://2sb.us/482868

10) It protects the bluebuddy from knocks and shocks when diving, giving divers the alternative option to hold it. Nothing more or less.

okay the kit for 190. The blue buddy clips into the holder and a separate screen connects to the holder. They need to be in proximity to each other since blue tooth range sucks underwater (touching back of screen essentially, hence the holder device. I would imagine it to be used as a digital depth gauge and timer, with possible upgrade to computer in the future, who knows. My prediction though is depth gauge and timer to start. This would fit with with the price tag and would be a killer one at that. Also Divnav has a strong track record of coming through with innovative gear, (not vaporware), I know I need a digital timer to back up my dive computer. Most people who own a blubuddy have a computer already but may not have a backup gauge and timer.

Seems like I just won.

None of the above.

Here another hint ..... (btw, one of you has already nailed this!)

It's a pivoting attachment and quick releasing mount

At this point I'm pretty sure it comes with a tin-foil hat.

R..

 

[Npallasi]

It looks like it is meant to be held like a pistol.

Alternatively..

If the "fingerhold area" isn't actually for fingers, I could think it was meant for inserting a belt of some sort.

 

[cannon fodder]

Maybe it mounts the bluebuddy to your tank like a dorsal fin, you just need to drill the holes in your tank to attach it.

Its a mount for the new Black Buddy dive logger/mp3 player

 

[DiveNav]

last hint....

 

[nimoh]

a camera tray mount for a Blue Buddy like device.

then software can later be used to tag photos with depth, time, temperature, etc.

or,

a mount to for a Blue Buddy like device that will provide information wirelessly to a smart phone in a housing on the same mount that acts as a dive computer.
