Safety in the water
Every safety tool in Submarius is free. With Safety Watch you set a "back by" time and pick who watches. If you don't check in by then, the server alerts them by push or email, even if your phone is dead. It needs a free account and never contacts the coast guard.
When Spearfishing is your mode, a shark awareness card also lists the shark species recorded in the area and any community sightings from the last 48 hours.
