An enhanced dive computer functionality providing a diver positioning system integrated into a dive computer and a modified Display Integrated Vibrating Alarm device controlled by the dive computer to allow for decompression integrated guidance and a buddy signalling device. The diver positioning system allows for automatically determining the diver's position by tracking the diver's location in three dimensions within a water column, or portion of the body of water in which the diver operates bounded by the surface and the maximum dive depth, during a dive. A modified Display Integrated Vibrating Alarm allows for guiding a diver through a controlled decompression ascent and a method for automatically warning companion or nearby divers of imminent danger of injury or death to a subject diver.
