Diving measuring device in particular a diving computer
First Claim
1. A diving measuring device comprising:
- a housing;
electronic components which are disposed water-tightly in the housing;
at least one diving data display device which is disposed water-tightly in the housing;
an illumination, which can be switched on and off, associated with the diving data display device;
an electricity source, which is disposed water-tightly in the housing;
switching on means responsive to water immersion for connecting the energy source to the electronic components; and
an element which reacts to changes of motion of the diving measuring device, which element is intended to switch on and off the illumination.

Abstract
A diving computer has a housing in which electronic components, at least one diving data display means and an electricity source are disposed water-tightly. Furthermore there are means, accessible from the outside, for connecting the energy source to the electronic elements. The diving data display means is preferably a liquid crystal display module with an integrated background illumination that can be switched on and off. For switching on and off this said illumination, an acceleration sensor and an electronic circuit are mounted in the diving computer. These last-mentioned parts have the effect that the illumination can be switched on or off by merely knocking on the diving computer or hitting the latter against another object. This is a procedure which can also be done underwater easily and safely, using just one hand, despite relatively thick diving gloves.
