The Buddy Watcher is an underwater signaling device utilizing ultrasound frequencies to set off a vibrating and LED light alert on a corresponding paired unit. This makes silent communication between buddies possible and quite easy. The Buddy Watcher now has an extra added function making it Master Unit capable. The dive guide, instructor, or dive master can alert all the divers in the group at the same time. Conversely, all the divers in the group can alert just the guide. With the Master capability enabled, the diver still has the ability to alert just their buddy. The water is clear, the view seemingly endless. Suddenly a silhouette approaches out of the distance. What starts off as only a dark outline quickly turns out to be a school of barracuda. Your buddy, however, does not notice them. The perfect time to use your BUDDY WATCHER! You push the call button and in the blink of an eye your buddy's device vibrates. He looks at you and sees you pointing at the barracuda. Or, distracted by the impressions of the underwater world, you move away from your buddy and in a worst case scenario lose sight of him. Under water the dive buddy can be the best life insurance. Continuous contact to the buddy is an important safety aspect that needs to be seriously considered in sport diving. The Buddy Watcher is a means of communication that, as a preventative system, helps making sport diving considerably safer. In emergency situations the Buddy Watcher can even save lives. With a simple push of the call button you could possibly prevent an escalating emergency situation.
