I just have this mental image of some hapless ill-trained tourist taking it over the edge of a coral wall..
<insert implosion scene from The Abyss>
I just can't see how someone wouldn't be crashing into all kinds of things underwater using one of those.

I'm waiting for it to come out in tech-black.
I think they use those in the Bahamas, to show non-certified "divers" what it is like to be underwater... They call them BOBs I think.

That thing just has bad news written all over it. What happens if the air source gets fouled up?

We had a thread here a year or two ago - from a member whose previous employer in the Caribbean was using them on tourist and racking them over coral beds. Caused a lot of heat. Wonder where that thread is...???

One can look at that, and see disaster all over it!
Disaster for the coral, disaster if the air fails.. I'm sure they have built in safeguards (especially for the HUGE price), but I can see the thing breaking down at depth, and then what?
