In message ups.com, Chuck
Gould sprach forth the following:

shouldn't there be some sort of small EPIRB or other emergency device
that a diver could cut loose and let rise to the surface?

Which would then drift somewhere that the diver isn't.

If you'd get a boat and get out on the water instead of trolling this
newsgroup....

Anyway, equipment making PLBs usable for divers currently exists and
is worn by the diver,

Does that stay attached to the diver if he's stuck under water and
float to the surface to scream for help or is that strictly a surface
device when the diver in on the surface?

The write up doesn't say.
