No Diver Left Behind: Real Time Positioning to Enhance Safety in Adaptive SCUBA Diving The short article describes our recent efforts working with CWVC to test the feasibility of using real-time diver tracking and positioning systems in adaptive SCUBA. We were able to test and evaluate the Diver6 system in open water dives on several CWVC adaptive divers including one unilateral transfemoral amputee, one bilateral transfemoral amputee, one SCI diver, one TBI/PTSD diver, and several CWVC SCUBA scientists. Based on our testing and evaluation, there is no doubt that real-time tracking using the Diver6 enhances safety for all divers including adaptive divers. Importantly, we found the Diver6 was usable by adaptive divers across a range of experience levels and capabilities. As technologies like the Diver6 System continue to advance and become more accessible, the future of SCUBA diving looks brighter and more inclusive than ever. #scuba #safety #veterans #gps #communications #undersea #operations #dive #water #therapy #engineering #sci #ptsd #tbi #mentalhealth #rehabilitation #sports #adaptivediving #research #diving #inclusivedivingtechnology #innovation #sensors #performance
