Underwater Cellular

[bottom_sucker]

Just read short blurb in Network World about Canadian company in BC that has created units to provide underwater cellular access.

Go to http://www.naval-technology.com then under companies index look for DiveLink International Technologies. They have some pics of the units in action.

Waayyyyyyyyyy Kuuuulllllllllllllll

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but one of the reasons I go diving is to get away from cell phone ringing 24/7 I sure as hell don't want one I can take underwater with me.

I don't even like it when they are one the boat. All they do is ring ring. And the guy is diving.:bonk:

It's not for me. BTW, it's not under water celluar access, it's an underwater communications system that uses cellular technology.

I tried one a few months ago. They work but I like the quiet too much.

P.S. Hmmmm just read that webpage. Sounds like they do have a cell-phone interface. It's probably a module that you can attach to the dry part of the unit. Definitely not for me.

I've got some friends in the military/anti-terrorist business. I'll have to foward them a link.

Like most everyone else I like my quite time. One of the best things about getting down south is my cell phone won't work outside the country!

If I start hearing cell phones ringing underwater, I'm DEFINITELY gonna' start wearing one of the machete-sized dive knives...

I brought my cell phone under with me once because I forgot it was in my pocket under my drysuit. To the best of my knowledge, I didn't have any underwater service, though.

Though they would add greatly to the safety of diving, one of the things I like about diving is the tranquility and that no one can get ahold of me except for my buddy. For that 45 minutes, the world is silent and I can't be bothered except to untangle the flag from someone's fin.

Why would anyone want to dive with a cell phone!? That's one reason I dive, to get away from it!
