It's Swiss made by Uwatec.

If the mouse is connected correctly to a compatible dive computer (your home
Pentium PC will probably do, because today's motherboards usually have a 
build 
in I/O card with UART 16550 chips), the Memo Mouse is activated automatically
and a green LED is flashing (aknowledgement of transfer & operation
indication). If the voltage of the 9-V battery is unsufficient a red LED will
start flashing. The same red LED will also flash in case of a faulty 
transfer. 
All you need is a compatible dive computer, the interface cable supplied with
with Data Trak software (release 1.6B or higher).
The size of this little wonder is a little bit bigger than a common Microsoft
PC mouse :-)). So you can forget your laptop and bulky pockets....
If you wish more info with pictures, send me your snail mail address via a
Fidonet netmail (no crashmail) or Compuserve/Internet mail and I'll send you
back a photocopy of the user manual in plain english.

Sorry, I've never dive the Caymans (not yet) but I can give you plenty info
