Absurd dive equipment

[ScubaRon]

Ok, so we have a snorkel with a built-in radio and masks with built-in lights. What other absurd ideas are the diving equipment manufactures going to dream up next?

Perhaps we should give them a hand.

Here's my absurd idea:
a BC with an integrated back massager . For the ultimate relaxation. It saves on weight too and a clever engineer can probably design it in a way that helps with propulsion as well.

Any other absurd idea's?

It's already being marketed: the Dacor HUB. Pretty absurd!

Ditto KrisB,add bungie wings and seavision masks.

How about a combo BC/parachute?

Maybe I am thinking of something different, but how does a sea vision mask fit in to the category of absurd?

One man's trash is another's treasure. I agree with 100days-a-year, the Seavision is unnecessary and useless, but I have buddies who love theirs. It's a matter of perception. Everything anyone lists here will have people who like it.

I'd list Force Fins.

Force Fins? From I I have read from users they are better than peanut butter. Heck, I once used a pair to make duck feet for a student in a children's play.

Hey! I love those!!!

OK....Just kidding...I couldn't resist

I haven't seen them advertised in a while, but I remember getting a smile from a product who's name I can no longer remember.

It was a squeezeable pouch with a tube that you inserted through your mouthpiece. The premise was that you filled it with your beverage of choice, and squeezed the bag to get a drink while diving.

I was trying to imagine what happened when you unxpectedly bump the bag, or squeeze it too hard and start choking at 100'

Just to make sure I am on the same page, exactly what is being refered to as a Sea Vision mask. I can't see a way that anyone would classify my prescription Sea Vision mask as absurd. The only possible way some might do that I would think is if you had the color correcting lens.

I dunno if that could be called dive gear... I think it's only water proof to 15-20' or so.
