Section 1: Introduction
Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your Diver6 System. Dive command and control is vastly improved
with the Diver6 System, a supplemental Diver and Dive Operations Mobile Support System, which can
assist Dive Masters in monitoring and tracking their divers beneath the surface of the water, thus
providing greater situational awareness. The Diver6 System is designed and intended for use only by
certified Dive Masters and is not intended to, nor should it, replace independent dive and contingency
planning.
Diver
information
is
transmitted via an underwater
modem to a receiving unit on
the surface and then to a
monitoring computer that
records,
calculates,
and
displays
the
various
parameters using full 3D
tracking. This means a Dive
Master now has a replication
of each diver’s vitals, has full
situational awareness of each
diver, and can intervene, if
required, in near real time.
The Diver6 System uses
unique Dive Master tracking
and monitoring software developed by Azimuth Inc., holds a database of dive/diver information, and
simultaneously provides an audit trail for diving activity. All monitoring aspects of the dive are recorded
and can be used for later analysis and audit.
Dives are currently monitored for air pressure(s), depth, water temperature, and position. This means the
Dive Master knows a diver’s position (either absolute or relative to the dive tender), the diver’s depth and
descent/ascent rates, and the diver’s remaining air time. Decompression tables are included in the
software for reference only. No decompression calculations are currently implemented.
Initial Checking of the Diver6 System on Arrival
On arrival the Diver6 System needs to be checked and accepted by the user for completeness and that all
components function as described. These checks need to be completed in a workshop or clean
environment and need to be performed prior to the system being used in the water. Failure to complete
these checks may void the product Warranty.
