The communicatorallows transmitted and received speech, enabling conversation /unlike radio transceivers. There are two parts to the communicator$a diver unit and a surface unit. The diver unit consists of a unit that mounts onto the facemask of the diver, fitting around the back ofthe diverLs head. This connects by cable to a microphone in a speaking cavity on the mouthpiece. The earphone works by boneconduction and is placed under the hood, in contact with the bone around the ear. The surface unit is composed of a set of battery!powered headphones with a microphone. 6ttached to the headphones is a cable /standard lengths are 10, and -+ metres at theend of which is a transducer. The cable and transducer are placed in the water to transmit to the diver. The system permits aminimum range of 0 metres /from transducer to diver.
