Thanks for your replies. This automatic BC is fairly simple and would be an advancement on current BCs. It basically uses the change in water pressure to increase or decrease a volume, which allows a diver to automatically maintain neutral buoyancy throughout the dive at any depth. With current BCs a diver must manually adjust the volume in the BC in order to maintain neutral buoyancy. This is, at worst, potentially dangerous for new divers, and, at best, a distraction for advanced divers. A device that automatically maintains neutral buoyancy for a diver would remove the chore of manually monitoring and changing the air volume in a BC and would allow the diver to concentrate more on the enjoyment of the diving experience. It would also be safer and more efficient than current technology.
