Dive Alert Plus

Surface and Sub-Surface Signalling Device

The Newest Dimension in Scuba Diving Safety.

Responding to customer demand Ideations Inc. has created the first true surface and sub-surface diver signalling device.

Traditionally, SCUBA divers have relied on whistles as their only audible surface signalling device. But, if a diver is disabled and can’t blow into the whistle, the whistle makes no sound at all. Equally frustrating and dangerous, if a diver needs to attract the attention of someone who is too far away to hear the whistle, the whistle is of no help.

Or, what would you do if you wanted the attention of your dive buddy, for whatever reason, and he was simply distracted and not paying attention to you at that very moment? Traditionally, you would be forced to swim up to him or her until you got their attention.

In contrast, Dive Alert Plus enables divers at the mere touch of a button to generate a loud blast of sound on the surface that can be heard up to a mile away! Or, by switching the Dive Alert Plus diverter valve for Subsurface signalling the diver can now signal for his dive buddy’s attention underwater!

Designed for Effective, Easy Use.

Dive Alert Plus is a specially designed, small, light weight pneumatic signalling device that uses quick-connect/disconnect hose fittings to become an integrated part of your power inflator. Installation is easy and takes only a moment.

Dive Alert Plus does not require any modification of your other equipment, and it does not interfere in any way with the normal operation of your other equipment.

When you need to get someone’s attention on the water’s surface, you simply select “AIR” operation with your diverter valve, press the button and Dive Alert Plus uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA tank to make a piercingly loud sound.

Or, when you want to get someone’s attention under the water’s surface, you simply select “H2O” operation with your diverter valve, press the button and Dive Alert Plus uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA tank to make a percussion noise to alert your dive buddy.

Developed to Save Lives.

What would you do in a diving emergency if you needed to get the attention of someone else? Above or below the water’s surface!

How it Works

Dive Alert Plus is a specially designed, small, light weight pneumatic signalling device that uses quick-connect/disconnect hose fittings to become an integrated part of your power inflator. Installation is easy and takes only a moment.

Installation – Dive Alert Plus connects between the power inflator and the low-pressure hose by means of its quick-connect/disconnect hose fittings.

Operation – Operation is as simple as selecting the desired function with the diverter valve and pressing the activator button. To select surface signalling, move the diverter valve so the pointer lines up with the “AIR” graphic. To select subsurface / underwater signalling, move the diverter valve so the pointer lines up with the “H2O” graphic.

Just make sure that before every dive you check that Dive Alert Plus is installed correctly and functioning properly. Also be careful not to point Dive Alert Plus toward yourself or toward anyone who is in close proximity to you when you activate the surface signal or loss of hearing could result.

Maintenance – After each use, Dive Alert Plus should be rinsed with fresh water. This is especially important after use in chlorinated swimming pools and in other water having corrosive substances. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you blow the water out of Dive Alert Plus before storing. This can be done by pressurizing and activating both the surface and subsurface signalling elements. We recommend that you cup your hand over the surface signalling element to muffle the loud noise.
