View Full Version : Anyone using SCUDA?
DomRep Diving January 28th, 2003, 03:36 AM Is any of you usiing SCUDA (Self Contained Underwater Drinking Apparatus) ? I thought that for some long dives with deco it might be helpful... even in some warm days.... Any suggestions?

I do get some bad dry mouth sometimes while scuba diving, but I think its because I am not drinking enough. It gets soo bad that sometimes I almost gag and dont wanna swallow at all, but othertimes its not even noticeable. I try to dive with the least amount of equipment to simplify things. Its bad enough I shoot underwater video so adding something else to mess around with doesnt appeal right now. If you try it out though, let me know how it goes. Thanks, Jason WreckWriter January 28th, 2003, 10:34 AM i tried it years ago (I knew the guy that invented it). It worked ok but the biggest problem I had with it was that the liquid got soup warm in no time. Of course it was in the Keys in summer, obviously wouldn't be a problem in cooler water. I would think it might work fine for recreational diving but if you're doing deco you don't want the additional failure point created by the tubing entering the mouthpiece. WW Bob3 January 28th, 2003, 12:01 PM If you're using a Scuda, try to avoid using the full bodied products from Microbreweries. They have a tendency to foam on ascent & you'll need to vent the thing of excess pressure. Needless to say, the bland "brand name" pilsners have less of a problem with that. ;) sjensen December 9th, 2009, 10:07 PM I have used the scuda water device for years. Where can I purchase a new unit? Atomic_Diver January 21st, 2010, 07:29 PM never even heard of it... PiranhaChris January 26th, 2010, 12:57 PM I was Thinking about this the other day seriously. I have a Camel back from my Snowboarding days. And I realized that it's pretty much a "Sealed Unit" with a Bite valve. So I was thinking about doing a pool dive with it filled with food colored water to see it it leaks under pressure. And if it works........Underwater Hydration lol Sound Doable? anyone done that?
