Been wondering when these were going to come out..

Do I need this? No not really. Do I want one for the sheer coolness factor? Oh God yes!

According to my DB, owner of the LDS, they are available but you had better have over $1,000 for one. Now if this is actually true or not is another question.

It makes the diving experience similar to flying an F-14 or new Corvette. I love it. But, what does it cost?

In the UK the Suunto vytec and transmitter retail for around £550, absolute expensive mask £80, now for the conveneice factor, IMO £200, total £830, at todays exchange rate $1471.00.

VFM???????????????????????????????????????

I think for the price I will keep checking my wrist. Then again, an air integrated hoseless computer is in the $1000.00 range, so when you consider the WOW factor, it's not bad. Hope the Navy likes it, buys alot of them, and brings the price down for the rec divers. Would need to try it out to see if the old eyes can read it that close.

Here here! Let's all lobby our congressmen for more military anti-terror spending (which certainly isn't hard NOW), and give endorsements to buy (and more importantly field test) thousands of these thingies. They should also enlist the aid of recreational divers to help out with this... testing. Not one to shirk from my patriotic duty, I volunteer!

As cool as I think this would be to have, wouldn't it be a biyatch if your mask leaked?
