Abstract
A wrist unit is provided for allowing the diver to view the breathing parameters that are determined. The breathing parameters are determined by a tank processor via sensors that are disposed on the breathing tank of the diver. These are transmitted to the display unit on the wrist of the diver via a wireless communication link. An inertia switch is provided in the wrist unit, the wrist unit having a watertight housing. The inertia switch is responsive to impacts in the form of tapping on the housing or of rotation of the wrist. When the wrist is rotated, the inertia switch will generate impulses that can be counted and, after a predetermined number, generate a control signal. The control signal controls the on/off function of the wrist unit and also allows switching between alternate displays.
