Hal, I have had experience with a pinger/locator made by Helle. The pinger is attached to an object (like an anchor) and the locator is carried by the diver. The locator is large; about the size of a big flashlight, and not too practicle for a wreck diver who's loaded with other gear. It worked OK, but no better than a compass (where applicible) but is not a panacea.

The devices and alittle about each, per the ads follows. Has anyone had experience with any of them? Here they are: By RJE International, Inc.: 1. Dive-Trak: range 100 meters; depth rating 330 ft.
