First Claim
1. A dive computer comprising:
- a processor;
a display in communication with the processor;
a communications port in communication with the processor;
a temperature sensor in communication with the processor;
a pressure sensor in communication with the processor; and
clock circuitry in communication with the processor;
wherein the processor;
determines time and date using the clock circuitry;
determines depth of submersion using the pressure sensor;
determines water temperature using the temperature sensor;
calculates at least one decompression stop based on the determined time and depth of submersion;
displays elapsed dive time using the display during a dive, where the elapsed dive time is calculated based on the time determined using the clock circuitry when the dive computer is underwater;
displays the water temperature determined using the temperature sensor;
generates a warning in response to unsafe conditions;
combines depth information and time information into a dive log;
provides the dive log using the display; and
transmits the dive log to an external device using the communications port;
wherein the depth information comprises the maximum depth reached during the dive;
wherein the time information comprises the duration of the dive and the date of the dive; and
wherein the temperature information comprises the temperature of the water during the dive.
