The Combat Swimmer Data Recorder (“CSDR”) is a data collection and analysis device intended to be wornby divers during training. The CSDR is integrated into the diver’s gear, minimizing interference with the diver’s pre-existing dive setup. The user turns the device on at the beginning of the dive and the CSDR immediately begins taking a variety of readings, including, but not limited to, GPS position, velocity, depth, time of dive, and others. Following the completion of the dive, these readings are uploaded to a database on the user’s Android phone, via bluetooth. 
       The CSDR allows divers to create efficient and increasingly effective training regimens, as the user will have access to previous training logs and high-level performance analysis, allowing in-depth performance review.  Comparing dive logs across days, weeks and months will allow the diver to hone in and improve weaknesses, while providing tangible evidence of fitness preparedness for superior officers. The CSDR uses an accelerometer and several sensors to take positional readings and update location in real time.
       While the commercial dive-gear market contains many competitors, none currently meet the divers specific needs. The CSDR is custom designed for combat divers, with potential for expansion into additional biometric and physiological readings.
