A navigation system extends satellite navigation to divers. The navigation system comprises a surface unit and a plurality of sub-surface beacon units. The surface unit includes a receiver to receive navigation signals from earth- orbiting satellites, processing circuits to communicate with to sub-surface beacon units and to transmit location information to said sub-surface beacon units, and a sonar transmitter to transmit location information to the sub- surface beacon units. The beacon units include a processing circuits to determine the location of the beacon unit based on location information received from the surface unit, and a sonar transceiver to receive location information from the surface unit while the surface unit is floating on the surface; and to transmit location information to a diver unit to provide navigation assistance to the diver unit.

Système de navigation étendant la navigation par satellite aux plongeurs, qui comprend une unité de surface et plusieurs unités de balise sous la surface. L'unité de surface comprend un récepteur de signaux de navigation depuis des satellites en orbite terrestre, des circuits de traitement communiquant avec les unités de balise sous la surface et transmettant une information de localisation aux unités de balise sous la surface, et un émetteur sonar pour la transmission d'information de localisation aux unités de balise sous la surface, lesquelles sont équipées de circuits de traitement pour la localisation d'unité de balise sur la base de l'information reçue par l'unité de surface, et un émetteur-récepteur sonar pour la réception de l'information de localisation depuis l'unité de surface tandis que celle-ci flotte à la surface ; et pour la transmission de l'information de localisation à une unité de plongeur, permettant la fourniture d'assistance de navigation à cette unité de plongeur.
