This team from Istanbul Bah\\xe7e\\u015fehir University have created a safe new method for underwater communications. Diver\\u2019s Mate is a sophisticated diving torch that uses non-intrusive light beams, with full duplex voice communication and data sharing capabilities. The invention can illuminate the darkest underwater environments and provide wireless optical voice communication.

We explore the cost-effective and environmentally friendly aspects of the Diver\\u2019s Mate underwater torch invention, as well as its wider implications for fast and effective data sharing.
