Who says you can’t talk underwater? Ocean Technology System has developed several acoustic communication systems for divers such as the XT-100-H Buddy Phone® transceiver.
It uses ultrasonic upper single side band for transmission. The diver utilizes his own face mask and 2nd stage regulator. The XT-100-H Buddy Phone® comes complete with a HM-2 black silicone mouth mask. Your second stage regulator easily installs to the HM-2 mouth mask. The HM-2 mouth mask has a patented HotMic® studio quality, water proof microphone installed, a comfortable head strap and a unique push-to-talk system.
When the diver enters the water, the XT-100-H powers up and cycles to the receive mode - ready to receive a message. When the diver wants to transmit, they simply depress the PTT button located on the HM-2 and talk. All divers and/or surface stations within range and on the same frequency will hear the message. The XT-100-H look identical to the XT-100. However, the XT-100 comes with a ceramic microphone, not a HotMic®.
Each set is rated for 130 feet max and is available for USD$660.
