Apparently I was unclear with why I posted this, had a few Scotches LOL. I was referring to the technology, it being integrated into a dive computer, and the tools this could give us in the future.
Not this one product or the feasibility of their kickstarter.
When the Edison introduced the telephone I'm sure there were a lot of people that said "who ever you are trying to talk to will also need to have one other wise its useless" ....... now we carry little hand held computers with access to the world.
I can see this developing into something fairly common on DCs. Providing features of things like an arrow that shows where your buddy is even how far, great for limited vis diving. Maybe an automatic signal sent to your buddy if you are low on air, just in case someone gets distracted. A panic button in combination with the locator could save a life, or at least prevent a bad case of DCS. Picture this, you have a malfunction that causes an out of air situation, hit the panic button, you and your buddy bee line for each other, you can do this because you know where each is at even in bad vis, shoot even in good via this would cut time to buddy air in half. Seem better than popping up.
Just a few ideas that could be great for all divers every where.
