MKII-BUD Buddy Phone®

The patented MKII-BUD Buddy Phone® transceiver has an acoustic underwater telephone originally designed for professional Search & Rescue Teams.  The MKII-BUD is configured for the all styles of Interspiro AGA full face mask (ffm).   Although it is still used with Search & Rescue Teams and Militaries around the world, the Sport and Movie Industry quickly standardized on it.  MKII BUD is well known throughout the world as the highest quality underwater communications system available.

MKII-BUD uses ultrasonic upper single sideband for transmission.   The The MKII-BUD Buddy Phone® comes complete with a AGA cover plate with Push-to-talk button, a patented HotMic® (studio-quality, water proof microphone), and the main transceiver.  The MKII-BUD easily installs to virtually all AGA ffm in minutes.

How does it work?  When the diver enters the water, the MKII-BUD/S powers up and cycles to the receive mode - ready to receive a message.   When the diver/s want to transmit, they simply depress the PTT button located on the AGA cover plate and talk.  All divers and/or surface stations within range and on the same frequency will hear the message.
