Abstract

A safety device for underwater diving has a sensor for measuring a flow of gas bubbles comprising a belt for fixing and functional coupling to the body of a diver. The flow sensor is linked to a portable computer for utilizing signals from the flow sensor so as to provide an alarm signal if the measured flow level exceeds a predetermined safety threshold and to thus customize a table of decompression stops.
