Nautilus Lifeline Work In Coz?

[tursiops]

I don't think they do unless we're talking about specially equipped coast guard planes.

I saw a video showing Nautilus Liveaboards (which lend a Nautilus radio to each of their divers) talking about how they'll put their helicopter up in the air with a VHF receiver hanging below for this purpose.

Not likely in Cozumel!

Copied directly from their website:

"Works everywhere on the planet with all marine radios installed since June 1999 on ships, yachts, fishing boats, tugs and every other boat on the water"

I don't mind product limitations, I do mind being sold a false sense of security with misleading advertising.

It's accurate.

The problem is you're going to Mexico, a good chunk of the smaller dive pangas don't have a working radio at all. If you carried an InReach or PLB those signals have to go all the way up to the American response centers before getting relayed to the Mexican Navy - at some point they start looking for you.

Ps the general good news is the AIS is going to be turn on in any cruise ships and at a minimum they'll hear your Lifeline unless you're wayyyyyy out from line of sight with them.
