JK, we're trying to get more info ourselves as well as a unit. As soon as we have more info we'll post photos and we may even shoot a short video if it.

"that helps divers stay in closer contact than ever before, even while allowing them to move greater distances from each other."
Hmmmm let's see.....closer contact......move greater distances from each other....hmmmmm
Am I the only one who sees the little monir complication with this concept.
So I'm diving with my buddy and we have these nice little gizmos, and of course we decide to stay in contact while moving greater distances from each other. So I'm at one end of the wreck and my buddy is on the other when suddenly I get a text mesaage that they've got a equipment malfunction, are out of air and entangled. Well at least I can tell the coroner what killed my buddy, because of course I would not be able to span the distance fast enough to get to my buddy in time before they drowned.
The only thign this type of device will do is promote bad diving habits among that group of already complacent divers.
I feel it is an outdated device even though it is new. Why text? How about verbal communications like they have in full face masks? Maybe we should all trade in our cell phones for pagers and our dive computers for tables while we are at it.
I prefer looking at the reef trough my camera lens! No time to text or play video games. Most of the time I don't want to communicate much past a sign or two! I have a great idea, what about a white board that you can write on and pass over to your buddy who is close by. The only use I see is salvage and then, as said, the AGA mask is better you can talk and hear and it only takes one hand!

so it's a super expensive slate
Then a computer is an expensive slate too, and the slate is just an expensive smoke signal
The Computer was the biggest advancement in diving since the Regulator! It has freed us to do so many other thing not been a distraction at all! It has saved lives! Not a very good analogy, I know you can do better!
As far as a Smoke Signal you will have to ask TB
