Claim:
1. A dive computer system, comprising: a dive computer having a display on which information is displayed and a processor; and a sensor that takes skin temperature measurements directly from the diver's skin, the sensor is operably coupled to the dive computer such that the skin temperature measurements can be supplied to the processor of the dive computer from the sensor, the processor is configured to utilize a decompression algorithm to calculate dive parameters and the skin temperature measurements to compensate the decompression algorithm for diver skin temperature, wherein the sensor also takes heart rate measurements in addition to the skin temperature measurements, and wherein the sensor is attached to a measurement device that includes a measurement device processor and a wireless transmitter, the measurement device processor applies a transmission coding to the heart rate measurements and the skin temperature measurements such that the heart rate measurements and the skin temperature measurements are transformed into a coded data, the transmission coding is based on a diver heart rate and a diver skin temperature, the transmitter modulates the coded data to a higher frequency and wirelessly transmits the coded data to a receiver of the dive computer; the receiver demodulates the coded data to a baseband frequency and provides the coded data to the processor of the dive computer.
