Product Overview

With this age of technology, GPS systems have been providing drivers, pilots, and surveyors with the assistance of autonomous navigation that is relied on every day.  DiveTracker provides the same level of navigational confidence for divers by using the power of underwater acoustics. 

Using the DiveTracker, you will be guided to the boat, to your buddy or to any transmitter marked location up to 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) away, even in limited to no visibility or at night! These systems are all wireless, so nothing to get tangled in while diving, which makes them even more valuable for divers. They provide an accurate sense of direction and approximate distance.  Use DiveTracker to enjoy your next dive confidence!

Affordable: Not only do our products offer a large benefit for your diving experience, but they are also affordable compared to similar diving equipment on the market today. This allows you, the diver, to get a better underwater experience at a much lesser cost to enjoy your diving!

Acoustic Underwater Navigation: The DiveTracker and Aquamap Diver are products that have a strong field history, being used by USGS, NOAA, EPA, the U.S. Navy, and private organizations such as Envirotech Diving and Net Systems. These systems use the power of High-Frequency Acoustic Waves to get precise navigation through the waters and underwater surveying.

Description

Diving in Clear (Good Visibility) Waters



DiveTracker SCOUT will guide you when you are out of sight of the boat or exit point. Consider leaving the small receiver always attached to your B/C, so it is available when you need it.

Limited Visibility Diving


At short range, the SPORT provides you with a confident direction to a distance of about 6 feet / 2 meters. The SCOUT may show the same maximum signal strength in all directions if you are closer than about 20 feet / 6 meters. For this reason, SPORT is preferred for low visibility diving and in particular if you need to locate a specific point such as the anchor line

For Teaching (or use as Rent Equipment)


The intuitive LED bar graph, and more narrow/defined beam angle of the SPORT receiver makes it easier to operate for students and first-time users. We have a number of dive facilities who purchase the DiveTracker to rent out to customers. If interested in purchasing for rental equipment, please fill out a product inquiry form.

Best Battery Availability


You can get the six ‘AA’ batteries for the transmitter and the 9V battery for the receiver just about anywhere. The SPORT transmitter can have a continuous use up to 2 weeks, while SPORT receiver has a continuous use of 8 hours. The SCOUT transmitter uses a 9V battery, but the receiver uses a SAFT 14250 3.6V 1/2 ‘AA’ cell and is harder to locate. Fortunately, the Scout receiver battery does last for about 100 hours of diving.

Operating over very long distances


The more defined beam pattern of the SPORT receiver (30 degrees for SPORT vs. 90 degrees for the SCOUT), the stronger transmit signal and an extra high gain setting through an internal switch give the SPORT a much greater range potential than the SCOUT (1000ft / 300m max. for SCOUT; 4000ft / 1300m max. for SPORT). However, be careful. In many cases, the maximum range is limited by environmental factors such as ray bending, path blockages and background noise. For general diving, we find the range of both SCOUT and SPORT to be sufficient.

For Frequent Divers


You might prefer to use the SCOUT because it’s smaller. Yet, if much of your diving is in low visibility, than the SPORT will provide a more confident directions at close range.

Marking Underwater Equipment for Recovery


The SPORT transmitter has a battery life of about two weeks in the slowest ping setting. This compares to about two days for the SCOUT transmitter.

Diving in Harbors, Ponds, or other Confined Locations


Echoes and generally strong signals can be a problem here. The ‘low gain’ setting of the SPORT receiver helps you reject many of the echoes and improve performance in confined dive sites.

Operating in a Swimming Pool


These systems are designed for open waters, and therefore will not be effective in a swimming pool. Since this system is based of acoustics, the signals and echoes will be just too strong. A large, Olympic size pool might be the exception. We recommend the SPORT here, always operated in its ‘low gain’ setting. If interested in operating the DiveTracker in a swimming pool, please fill out a product inquiry.

Least Probability of Flooding


The SCOUT has the advantage here, flooding is unheard of. This is because the housing is so small, and it’s O-ring is relatively thick in comparison to the housing diameter. This makes the SCOUT a very forgiving mechanical design. With SPORT, we do get the occasional flooded unit for repair. The O-ring is the same thickness as in SCOUT, but the housing does have a greater diameter. That means you need to pay greater attention to make sure you don’t have any O-ring contamination. Still, for both units incidents of flooding are low.
