The Freedivers Recovery Vest (FRV), 8 years in development, is designed to recover freedivers who become incapacitated, face up to the surface. Breath hold divers suffer fatal blackout at an alarming and consistent rate. The FRV is designed to activate when a diver exceeds either his self-set time limit or his depth limit. We will discuss the development of the FRV and its use. Samples will be provided, and audience participation is welcome.
