Reviewer: Cristina I.,
My local dive centre does not have radio’s on their boat so I have not been able to test it as yet (wish I never have to use it in case of an emergency). It fits nicely into my BC pocket. A recent incident which resulted in the group of divers being adrift for nearly 24 hrs prompted me to by the product.

most boats in the us are capable to couple with the device i would think twice before dragging this unit to the third world. if it works for you, it extends the season and seas you can dive in. a great insurance policy.

I have not yet had a chance to take this item on a dive. Frankly, I hope I never need to use it, and therefore never need to rate it!

Does this submit a distress signal to the search and rescue system or just to nearby boats? If not to search and rescue, do you know of any device that does communicate with search and rescue?

You can talk to just the boat, broadcast on the emergency channel for everyone within distance or send a GPS distress signal that Coast Guard can track.
