Absurd dive equipment

[drbill]

I can't believe no one mentioned the underwater cell phone for SCUBA divers that was on the news a few months (year?) ago. I don't even use one topside!

cstreu1026,

Unless I'm mistaken, Seavision masks are the masks with color filters.

ScottyK,

SCUDA = Self Contained Underwater Drinking Apparatus. They came out in the mid '80's. I still see an ad from time to time.

drbill,

I've never heard of that particular gem, but it would be high on my list.

 

[cstreu1026]

OK. so its the color filters. Is just the standard clear lens and is of very high quality.

How about split fins?

 

[BILLB]

Wrong! IMHO they actually work for you.

cstreu1026,yes the color filters.They may well work in very shallow water with great vis,but that desribes about 10% of what divers do.There is a rule in the phyical world "TANSTAAFL" There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.The only way for them to work is to decrease the amount of light you see.How about Submersible flares as well?

Well, now, it wouldn't make much sense to carry flares that weren't submersible, would it?

The emergency flares I have used in the Navy actually will work under water.

 

[Bob3]

OK, where can one find submersible flares?
I recall a TV show, the AQUANAUTS where the guys were ALWAYS swimming around with the critters.

BTW, the straps on Force Fins beat the crap out of the "standard" plastic buckles & rubber straps.

for your cell phone that attaches to your BC. I saw an ad for one in a dive magazine recently.

I don't get it.
