  • Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....
