People should dive with a buddy. But, for those who don't or can't,
shouldn't there be some sort of small EPIRB or other emergency device

sure GPS doesn't work under water.......but I don't know for an
established fact that it doesn't).


Surface currents are very different from bottom currents - one can go
one way while the victim or diver can go the other way.


I sort of agree with you - it would make sense to come up with a
system that worked on air flow - once the air flow stops, something
pops to the surface and starts screaming for help.


Hmmm - think I need to visit the patent office today.


You publicly disclosed it. You have one year. tick tick- Hide quoted text -
