GPS reception is pretty crap under water... trust me, I missed mine a couple of times while scuba diving... wouldnt it be great if they'd invent a GPS system that would work at 30m dept too?

Looks like it's for use between the tides or in the backyard pool. Would be useless around many of Queenslands reefs and islands but probably alright in a sheltered lee.

Think I'd rather swim.

To get a GPSr to work under water all you need is a external antenna on a float.

Submarines use them they just dead reakon based on course and speed until they pop a buoy or periscope up
