I have been a Dive Instructor for 9 yrs. I have taught hand signal in every class even above what were required to help the students while diving and to help them to develope their skill and to infulence them to come up with some on their own.
How ever I started working with the Weeki Wachee Mermaids and found that no amount of hand signals could help you communicate with someone without a mask.
So I invented a communication system that I carry with me and I can communicate with anyone within the range of my system up to as far away as 300'. I can turn it down so that I dont disturbe other divers and I can also play music at the same time.
I have been getting mixed reviews from DM, Instructors, boat operators and divers.
Its a very simple design that alows a diver to attach the system to themselves and communicate with any one that can hear sound.
Photographers love it when their directing a model underwater.
some DM like that they can talk to the whole group.
As an instructor it helps on the training dives (I dont have to go to the surface to explain anything to a confused student) and the students say they are comforted by my voice.
One the other hand as with anything their are those who curse the idea of anyone talking while their on a dive.
Just would like some in put you can see it in operation on You Tube under scubafliers videos or on facebook check Allen Sherrod s profile I use the same avatar
