For recreational divers seeking enhanced safety and easy communication while exploring the underwater world, Ocean Plan has introduced a lightweight version of its Underwater Communication and Navigation System. Designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind, this version provides all the essential features needed for safe and enjoyable diving experiences. The system offers underwater positioning, navigation, and real-time communication, ensuring that both recreational divers and surface personnel stay connected and informed.
Lightweight and Easy-to-Use Design
The lightweight version is tailored for recreational divers who may not require the advanced functionalities needed in professional or technical diving but still want the essential tools for safety. The streamlined design ensures that divers can focus on their exploration while maintaining a reliable connection with their dive teams.
Real-Time Monitoring and Communication
The system includes several key components:
Commander-Lite: This compact control unit allows surface personnel to monitor divers' positions, depth, direction, and air supply in real time, ensuring swift response to any emergencies and allowing for constant situational awareness.
Navygator-Lite: Dive leaders or masters can use this device to track divers' exact locations, enhancing group coordination and ensuring divers' safety during the dive. Whether tracking the team's progress or providing guidance, the Navygator-Lite helps avoid separation and ensures all divers remain within safe ranges.
Navygator-T: This innovative system continuously tracks each diver's location, depth, and status, providing an added layer of security by reducing potential risks in case of emergencies or unplanned separation.
1). Diving expedition in Koh Tao, Thailand
Divers carry the Navygator-T, which is DiverTrack, providing essential real-time positioning and monitoring of their underwater movements. The Dive Master utilized the Navygator-Pro, which allowed him to manage and supervise the team. Other divers were equipped with the Navygator-M, enabling text communication within the group.
This system proved especially valuable in Koh Tao diving, where strong currents and variable water conditions made tracking and communication crucial. With real-time positioning, divers and surface personnel were able to stay connected, enhancing safety and coordination. The use of the system significantly improved the overall efficiency and experience for both recreational divers and dive leaders, ensuring smoother operations and stronger collaboration.
