oceanic heads up mask

New Wireless Personal Dive Computer Evolves from Heads-Up Mask Technology Co-Developed by Oceanic WorldWide and the U.S. Navy Oceanic Worldwide, a longtime leader in new diving technologies, has been working closely with the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command to develop a new scuba mask that displays critical dive data on a tiny LCD display within the mask, giving special operations divers hands-free access to information about air supply, depth and time. The mask receives the data via a wireless transmitter unit mounted on the scuba tank's first stage regulator, which can tell a diver how many minutes of air are remaining based on the diver's breathing rate, all without cumbersome wires or hoses. The Navy's "heads-up" mask will have immediate military applications. Recreational divers may soon benefit from this jointly created technology. Oceanic is currently studying the feasibility of a consumer version of the "heads-up" mask.
