Scubasafe is a diving system that allows divers to balance themselves at any depth automatically. The system performs continuous safety monitoring and relieves the diver of monitoring the dive computer. Notably the ScubaSafe also automates the process of ascension at the end of the dive while also performing decompression breaks at the right duration and depth.

With ScubaSafe a diver can safely enjoy the diving experience without constantly controlling the bladders of the Buoyancy Control Device (BCD), air balance, and the rate of ascent at the end of the dive.

Most importantly, the system significantly improves the diver's safety. 

ScubaSafe is a computerized system that serves as a replacement to the traditional Scuba Set. ScubaSafe’s objectives are:

a.   A significant safety improvement in dive.

b.   An improvement in the user experience of divers.

ScubaSafe is an automatic system, based on rigid buoys that enables the operation of a smart computerized control system.

ScubaSafe enables diving with automatic balancing, freeing the diver from the responsibility of filling and emptying the air in the bladders in the diving vest (BCD). The system monitors the air consumption, air inventory in the tank, the dive depth and duration. Based on the collected data, the computer calculates an ascent plan for the end of the dive, thus removing the danger of decompression sickness. At the end of the dive, the system actively raises the diver to the surface at a safe speed while performing decompression breaks, enabling the diver to remain passive during the ascent.

Uniqueness and Innovation: The traditional diver kit has not changed for many decades. Equipment reliability has improved, and equipment prices have dropped. However, the world of diving has not experienced a technical leap in recent decades. ScubaSafe is a game changer system that takes the world of diving a step forward.

The transition to using ScubaSafe in diving is like a transition from driving a car with a manual gear to a car with automatic gear with safety monitoring as used in "Mobileye".

At the beginning of the dive, the ScubaSafe system lowers the diver to a depth of 2 meters and calibrates the rigid buoys so that the diver hovers in the water. Since the buoys are rigid, it is possible to theoretically lock them (mechanically) without the volume changing with depth. In this situation, the diver can hover at any depth without needing to add or deduct air from the buoys.

In practice, the weight of the air tanks decreases during the dive (the weight of air in the 12 liter tank is approximately 2.5 kg (5.5 libs) at the beginning of the dive). The volume of the wetsuit decreases as the depth increases.

In order to compensate for these changes, the computer system adapts the volume of the rigid buoys, maintaining "0" buoyancy during the length of the dive, irrespective of depth.

The computerized system monitors the depth of the dive and the duration at each depth, building an ascent plan (ascent rate and decompression stops) in order to avoid decompression sickness. At the end of the dive, the system automatically raises the diver to the water's surface  according to the calculated ascension plan. 

A back-up life support system is recommended. A diver using the ScubaSafe system dives with two life-support systems. The computerized system is the main system, backed by a manual bypass system that serves as a redundant system. The manual bypass can be operated in the event of a malfunction of the computerized system.
