Abstract
Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry technology has been a boon to multiple industries. Oftentimes, the main limitation to widespread application of this technology is the cost, which can dictate the number of industries using GPS technology. Here, we discuss the development of a low-cost, customizable, open-source hardware GPS logger for use in industries where cost is a major limiting factor, like Recreational Scuba Diving. We will be using technology that has been used by wildlife researchers to study animal spatial ecology. The technology will improve the safety of Scuba Diving. These GPS loggers have the potential to facilitate a “connected diving experience” that would be otherwise cost-prohibitive.
