Underwater depth trackers
Dive computers are wearable devices that track depth, time, and decompression limits during scuba diving.
They calculate safe ascent rates and required safety stops in real time, replacing the dive tables divers once used to avoid decompression sickness.
Most display remaining bottom time, water temperature, and nitrogen absorption levels: My dive computer beeped when I hit sixty feet.
