Autonomous surface platform for diver tracking and navigation

This paper presents an autonomous surface platform with possibility of tracking and global localization of the diver. Such system increases diver safety during underwater activities. Broadcasting the GPS data to the diver makes navigating underwater easier. Furthermore, crew on base station (ship or coast station) can continuously keep track on divers work and his position which increases diver safety reacting promptly in case of emergency through communication with diver. Platform itself is designed in such way that is easy to transport it and lower it in the water by one person.
