During that time of them taking the injured person up to the surface they could already be calling for help. When seconds count, wouldn't it be nice to not waste any.

So if something does go wrong, your buddy takes you to the surface, where someone there will definitely be able to call in help. A diver should never ever be diving alone.

I suppose they could adapt this for the people who are buried with their cell - just slap it on top of the headstone...

Much like when caving.. Interesting idea, but normally when diving you are looking to get away from the drone of life and enjoy time without being tied to this technological world..

But from the point of view of a diver. If you are hurt and can't swim to the top. Calling for help would probably be a great thing to be able to do. I mean if you a diving in shark infested waters, you can (hopefully) program HELP to call y9ur buddies diving with you and the local coast guard. It's hard to know something is wrong with a diver, since you can't see below the water after a bit of distance from the boat.<br><br>Also I hope that it would have a safety feature if the line is broken and it wasn't by turning it off, it calls for help to be sure.
