Navigation?

Any thoughts as to potential of this basic concept

Acoustic navigational tech gets scuba divers using GPS maps

Because GPS doesn't work underwater, divers usually can't track their real-time position on a digital map. The new Diver Navigation System (DNS) gets around that problem, however, using both floating and wearable acoustic transponders.

The concept is not new. Underwater short-baseline acoustic navigation has been used very successfully in oceanographic, commercial, and military applications for decades. It is expensive.

I know the concept isn’t new and it’s still pretty limited even if the .9 mile range is a reality. I feel the concept is interesting, not enough at this point to put any money into it but still interesting.

I'm guessing at least $15-20k for a simple system.
