I am planning a new safety device for use by groups of two or
more divers. The device will enable scuba divers in distress and/or lost
from the main group, to issue an alarm call (while submerged) and
be located and resuced by other divers in the party equipped with a
similar devices.
I would value your opinion on the following points to assist us in
product definition, i.e., what specific characteristics and features the
device should have to meet user needs.
1. Are you aware of any similar, currently available, products?
2. Would the device be of significant benefit to diver safety?
3. Would there be a demand for such a device among:
(a) Diving schools and instructors
(b) Sport divers
(c) Professional divers
(d) Military divers
4. What would be appropriate prices of single units for each of the
applications in Q3?
5. With which technical standards should the device comply?
6. What technical/practical problems do you foresee for the
implementation or use of such a device?
7. What appropriate information should be provided by the lead
diver's response and location system (e.g., elapsed time, depth,
direction) ?
8. In what format would direction/bearing information be most
usefully given (e.g., visually, aurally)
9. What is the minimum acceptable direction bearing accuracy for
each of the applications in Q3?
10. What are the minimum and maximum depths at which the device
should be capable of operating, according to each of the
applications in Q3?
11. What is the maximum range at which the device should be capable
of operating?
12. What should be the minimum operational lifetime of a fully
charged battery pack from when a distressed diver issues an alarm
call?
13. What would be appropriate physical attributes for the device
(e.g., dimensions, weight, casing material)?
14. What additional features and capabilities do you think should be
incorporated?
15. Would your organization provide a detailed evaluation of a beta
system?
16. Any other comments or suggestions?
