Hello guys & gals,
Im looking for some advice from experienced divers please. firstly let me make it clear i have never dived before and probally never will ,but i am trying to develop something that I hope will help divers accross the world.
I live on the south coast of the UK and we constantly news of divers surfacing to quickly and getting carted off to hospital suffering from decompression illness sometimes the diver dies, most im happy to say they most survive.
anyway, after a flash of inspiration i suddenly thought of a way i may be able cut down on this type of incident, and im currently developing a dive mask that has a very small electronic device attached to to the strap (no bigger than a large wrist watch). this device when triggered lights up 2 small red LED's situated inside the mask by his nose, that will alert the diver he is surfacing to fast.
in later incarnations this device could also monitor depth, and dive length, oxygen usage etc etc.
Really what im looking for is, Do experienced divers like yourselfs think this kinda product could work?, and would you use it if it did?
Anyother comments on the above would also be appreciated!
This Project is still in its 1st build stage at this time, so is a long way off yet.
Thanks for reading.
