An acquaintance asked me to construct a special location tracker for divers. It worked like an innertial navigation system. I went on a dive with one of the customers for the device, and explained why GPS wasn’t usable underwater and how the device worked using linear and angular accelerometers and a ring laser gyroscope. It had a button to record the time and location.
