Underwater GPS-based navigation for divers

Who says you can't use GPS underwater?  NavDive is a GPS-based system that gives a diver the same type of tools available for surface-based marine navigation. 

How it works

NavDive is a patent-pending system that consists of two main components -- a surface based GPS receiver/transmitter that acquires a GPS fix and transmits it to the diver.  The other component is a portable diver-based receiver/display unit that receives the GPS information from the surface and allows the diver to operate underwater.

The system also includes a desktop application to review the GPS data saved.  You can also view all position and tracking data on Google Earth.

             

What can you do with NavDive?

See your realtime GPS position while underwater

Navigate to a specific location underwater with GPS accuracy

Instantly save current lat/long position of an interesting underwater location

Record the shore entry lat/long position and navigate back at the end of the dive

Automatically periodically record lat/long positions during the entire dive, providing a complete trace of the dive

Create a map of underwater "waypoints"

Print GPS locations visited, new GPS positions recorded, a map of your entire dive, or export important data to your dive logbook
