Communicating under water can be quite difficult. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could just text your dive buddies when you found a cool new cave to explore, or when you were panicking because your oxygen was running out? That’s precisely what UTC was thinking too, which is why they invented the two-way digital text messaging service. The underwater SMS device is mounted onto the user’s arm and allows for communication not only with the rest of the underwater team, but with those on boats above or waiting on land. It’s called the UDI which stands for Underwater Digital Interface.  It works with distances of up to 1000 meters up to 56 divers at a time, has a 9 hour battery life that is rechargeable. That’s just the beginning, it’s been tested underwater for up to 180 minutes, on a single dive, it has a gyro-compensated 3D compass built in, as well as a dive logger, and the SOS function is literally at the touch of a button.
