Dell Latitude Rugged Tablet – Built for Dive Operations

Diver6 Rugged Tablet

Designed to perform in the harshest environments, Dell Latitude Rugged PCs are ideal for dive operations where reliability is critical. Drop-tested from 4 feet and IP65-rated, these tablets offer maximum protection against dust, dirt, and water ingress—ensuring durability in wet, challenging conditions.

Equipped with hot-swappable dual batteries and advanced thermal management, the system maintains peak performance during extended use. Its sunlight-readable touchscreen delivers precise, dependable control, providing the divemaster with a clear, real-time view of diver activity in any lighting condition.

The tablet features built-in GPS with robust meter-level accuracy, and comes preloaded with customized ENC charts based on your operational area. Additional charts and updates can be easily added as needed.

Best of all, Diver6 is a fully self-contained system, requiring no external sensors or instrumentation—no heading, GPS, or depth devices needed to operate.

Diver Modem (X110) - Integrated Communication Below the Surface

The Diver Modem consists of two components: the Diver Beacon and the Diver Control Module (DCM). The beacon handles bi-directional acoustic communication with the topside system, while the DCM provides power and DiveCAN connectivity for seamless integration with Shearwater dive computers and devices.

The beacon is mounted to the diver’s air tank, and the DCM is secured to the dive belt or another location that won’t interfere with task performance. Together, the units add less than 3 lbs. of weight in the water, maintaining diver agility and comfort.

Shearwater Equipment Integration

Diver6 seamlessly integrates with Shearwater Petrel, NERD 2 dive computers, single/dual tank pressure sensors, and the wireless SWIFT transmitter. Known for their rugged design, precision, and reliability across thousands of dives, Shearwater products are trusted by divers worldwide for both recreational and professional missions.

Through this integration, Diver6 unlocks exclusive features that enhance diver safety and coordination:

RECALL – Sends a return-to-craft command from the topside. The diver receives real-time range and bearing updates to guide them back to the surface vessel.

ASSIST – Allows a divemaster to direct one diver to assist another, sharing range, bearing, and depth information.

DISTRESS – Enables a diver in need to alert the divemaster and receive bearing and range guidance back to safety.

RETURN HOME – Allows a diver to request navigation assistance back to the surface vessel.

SEND ASSIST – A diver can request support from another diver through the divemaster.

Tank Pressure Monitoring – Real-time air supply data is transmitted topside, giving divemasters greater situational awareness and control.
