A system for use by a diver during an underwater dive. An autonomous underwater vehicle (one component of the system, AUV) comprises a component for detecting that the AUV has entered water, an AUV acoustic transceiver, a plurality of AUV sensors, a propulsion unit, a processor for determining dive information and diver information responsive to data from one or both of the AUV acoustic transceiver and the plurality of AUV sensors, and one or more cameras. Diver equipment carried by the diver comprises a plurality of diver sensors and a diver acoustic transceiver for receiving sensed information from the plurality of diver sensors and communicating the sensed information to the AUV, and for receiving information from the AUV acoustic transceiver.
