1. An emergency device for divers, comprising:
- a watertight case structured to assume a submerged position and an emerged position, the watertight case including;
a depth sensor configured to determine a depth value associated with the submerged position assumed by the emergency device when a user activates an emergency procedure;
a positioning device configured to determine a geographic position, including latitude and longitude, assumed by the emergency device in the emerged position;
a GSM or satellite telephone transmitter/receiver configured to transmit an emergency message comprising said depth value and said geographic position,wherein said watertight case further comprises;
a data processing and storage module connected to said depth sensor, positioning device and said telephone transmitter/receiver;
wherein said data processing and storage module is configured to;
store at least one telephone number, email address or web address to which said emergency message has to be sent;
activate said telephone transmitter/receiver to automatically send the emergency message when the emergency procedure is activated and the emerged position is reached.

6. An emergency device for divers, comprising:
-
a watertight case structured to assume a submerged position and an emerged position, the watertight case including; a depth sensor configured to determine a depth value associated with the submerged position assumed by the emergency device when a user activates an emergency procedure; a positioning device configured to determine a geographic position, including latitude and longitude, assumed by the emergency device in the emerged position; a GSM or satellite telephone transmitter/receiver configured to transmit an emergency message comprising said depth value and said geographic position; an emergency procedure activation device configured to send a corresponding second electrical signal to the data processing and memorization module to indicate an emergency situation and activate the emergency procedure, wherein said watertight case further comprises; a data processing and storage module connected to said depth sensor, positioning device and said telephone transmitter/receiver;
wherein said data processing and storage module is configured to;store at least one telephone number, email address or web address to which said emergency message has to be sent; activate said telephone transmitter/receiver to automatically send the emergency message when the emergency procedure is activated and the emerged position is reached, wherein; said emergency procedure activation device is an accelerometer configured to detect taps given to the emergency device by the user to trigger the emergency procedure and send the second electrical signal;
preferably, said accelerometer is also configured to detect a motion or a still position of the emergency device and send corresponding motion signals to the data processing and memorization module to make the emergency device assume a stand-by status or an active status.
