Abstract
The present invention is an electronic device to assist divers including scuba divers. The electronic device is submersible under water and is water tight and pressure proof to a range of depths usually achieved by divers, including scuba divers. The electronic computing device includes a microprocessor coupled to a display screen, a control panel, and memory. The device further includes a digital camera subsystem coupled to the microprocessor for capturing an image under water and transmitting the captured image to the memory. Additionally, the device includes a satellite communication receiver subsystem such as a GPS receiver coupled to the microprocessor for calculating the exact location of the user from received satellite signals.
