Although it is very rare in this day and age for someone to go missing at sea, unfortunately it can happen.
As Emperor Divers has always been at the forefront of safety in the Red Sea, it's reassuring to know that we will soon have a Missing Diver Location System on all Emperor Fleet liveaboards. It's hoped that other operators will also install this in order to help us give search cover for much of the Red Sea's famous dive sites.The system is called Seasafe, whereby the diver 
wears a small compact tracking unit on either their arm or BCD. With just the touch of a button a missing diver at the surface with a problem can alert all boats in the area with the Seasafe system. This alert triggers a series of steps to co-ordinate a search using a powerful directional antenna to pinpoint the missing diver. During an Emperor training and demo session recently the system tested accurately up to 18km away.
