In past eras of scuba diving, divers could only communicate with each other via hand signals or written messages. The advent of full-face masks changed all that. Communication systems for scuba divers feature microphones and speakers built or mounted directly into the diving mask, so you can work more effectively as a team while you’re underwater.
Benefits of Underwater Communication Systems
Effective communication is everything during a dive operation. Scuba diving is a difficult and potentially dangerous activity, so the ability to share information about your current status, point out obstacles, and make decisions as a group is vital.
Underwater wireless communication systems make it easier to stay in touch when you’re out of line-of-sight, swimming in overhead environments, or working as a team. And if you’re a salvage or recovery diver, you can use your comms systems to problem solve and manage each step of your recovery safely.
Surface Units
Each diver in your team should have a fully operational communication unit. You should also have at least one team member on the boat who can send and receive communications throughout your dive.
Surface units often look like walkie talkies or radios. These comms units help the boat alert you to surface obstacles and conditions so you can complete each dive safely.
Underwater Communication Accessories
While many full-face masks come with built-in underwater communication systems, you may need a few extra accessories or replacement parts to keep your system running smoothly.
Dampers
Most underwater communication systems are designed to operate in large environments. If you’re working or training with your team in close quarters like a swimming pool, you’ll need a damper to reduce the transmission strength of your comms.
Supports
Support brackets help you position key pieces of your communication system so you can dive more comfortably. Mount portions of your kit directly in your face mask or on your BCD.
Recorders and Monitors
If you’re diving for official purposes as part of a rescue operation or a scientific team, you’ll need to keep precise records about your dive, including audio recordings. Recording and monitoring units stay behind on the dive boat and capture all the action for future reference.
