GPS-loggers make life easier
Since we invented the method of profiling dives we knew that conducting such a dive is a loss of freedom to the diving team. We also knew that horizontal distance is a very important parameter but it hard to measure under water. Up to now we used a workaround. We estimated the distance from the diving time, but this is very imprecise. Now we have approved a new method, which we consider the perfect agreement between a free dive plan and useable data. GPS-Loggers are the magic solution.

The example presented here shows how precise the logger keeps the data. It also is a proof for the possibility to change directions during a dive and to adjust the course to the actual conditions. We actually check right the possibility to purchase a certain amount of loggers. We want to provide loan units for all participants who are willing to try this new and improved method.
Everybody who wants to try it should know that we will need the depth profile and the GPS track for the dive. Right now we already provide the possiblity to upload the depth profile from a dive computer and we will provide a similar solution for the GPS data.
