ABSTRACT:
A diver surfacing signal that can be conveniently carried underwater in a launching tube that is strapped to a diver's tanks and released by the diver prior to surfacing in order to alert marine vehicles to the diver's presence. Prior to surfacing, the diver releases the surfacing signal from the launching tube by the depression of a button, and the surfacing signal remains linked to the diver by a flexible line. The flexible line functions to keep the surfacing signal in the vicinity of the diver, and can be used to retrieve the surfacing signal after the diver has come to the water surface and has moved to a safe location.
