DiveTracker Sport Transmitter (DTS-TX)
The DiveTracker Sport Transmitter (DTS-TX) is a rugged underwater acoustic beacon designed to mark a location and guide divers back to it. The transmitter emits sonar pings that are detected by a compatible receiver, allowing divers to track the marked point by direction and distance. Its durable design and long battery life make it a reliable solution for marking boats, anchor lines, or underwater sites, and a single transmitter can be tracked by multiple receivers, making it well suited for team dive operations.
