A new dive computer from Oceans, with built-in buddy communication

[Damselfish]

How much in bitcoin?

One ping, one ping only Vasily. Sorry, off topic but I had to.

I am picturing a military adaptation with a few "ping" options, as well as this driving sonars a little bit up the wall.

One ping, one ping only

Ping, n.: the amount of bitcoins lost when a CEO of a bitcoin exchange dies without telling anyone the password to the company's vault.

Hi all! Time flies. With just about 6 hours to go we’re now over 114% funded and sooo close to hit our first stretch goal: the "Abysmal Black” colorway.

If you can think of a buddy who would love a dive computer with built-in comms, this is the time to share...
Oceans S1, the scuba dive computer with buddy communication.

Thanks to all who backed us to make the S1 a reality and have a great weekend!

It's useful if you are not holding on to your buddy 100% of the time.

E.g. my wife once watched an eagle ray raise from the sand, shake the silt off, and slowly move away while I was photographing a rockfish or something around the corner and a couple metres down. So we have a pair of ultrasonic pingers now.

Do you have a link to the pingers you use?

It appears it's been borged by DiveAlert. Hopefully they won't do a Subgravity on it.

It looks like these are actually shipping now; [1] claims 14 day delay. Normally I wouldn't put much faith in that but I saw a post on the subsurface list from someone who had one and wanted subsurface support.

It looks nice and the ping concept is interesting but when Anni pings me does it tell me where or what direction she happens to be? Otherwise isn’t it just an electronic tank banger?

Yes. When our buddywatcher buzzes, you can't miss it and you know it's meant for you. But other than that it is just a fancy tank banger. If you don't know what direction your buddy is, you should brush up on your buddy skills.
