Good news and bad news. There is an underwater GPS available (actually a mod to a magellen). The bad news is to use it you need to deploy a beacon to the surface to get a satellite fix. Radio waves from the satellites don't translate underwater well. I believe you can also get a fix from the boat (or shore) then moniter your course as you travel underwater.

I've heard there is a underwater sonar/ gps model coming out in the next year. Can't give any more hints than that!! Oh to navigate more efficienlty check out the Xios sonar system!! This rocks
