The islands have the usual walls, caves, swim-throughs, pinnacles, overhangs and wrecks that will surely delight divers.

4 underwater comm units

Article Abstract:

Problems associated with transmission signaling have hindered experts from developing communication systems capable of underwater operation. Since only a single chanel for transmitting and receiving underwater signals is used, existing systems do not allow simultaneous exchange of information. Problems are further aggravated by voice clarity limitations brought about bubble signals. An evaluation of four scuba diving communication systems is presented.
