If they only made it. I would buy it....

There is a lot of portable decompression chambers out there

For several of the long range liveaboards, this should be standard equipment.

Here's a wetsuit idea...
How about someone designs a wetsuit with veins running thru it that hold water. Put a small heater/pump module somewhere and hey presto! Warmer wetsuit.

Not meaning to sound like an ass, but it's called a drysuit!

Wetsuit with detachable forearms and shins. 3-5mm body, 3 mm detachable options.

I have something like that. Mine has detachable "half sleeves" that, when taken off, turn the top half into a shorty.

Agreed, a drysuit works better at overall warmth, but I thought this would be good to keep a constant temp.

1. Another vote for an underwater GPS, boat locator, and comm device
2. Specially tuned handheld underwater laser that destroys only lionfish, just by pointing it at them
3. Underwater DSLR-quality still and HD video camera that fits in a BC pocket, even with case
4. Small inline sensor for AI computer that accurately and reliably senses tank O2%, CO, and CO2
5. Tank the size of a basketball that holds 500cf of gas under incredible pressure, with compatible first stage, neutrally buoyant, and plenty of shops everywhere that could fill it
6. Underwater contact lenses that make masks obsolete
7. Camera-integrated database of all underwater life forms, so you can just point the camera at the critter and have it identified and tell you everything about it
8. Generic heads-up display interface for all computers (works with contacts above, too)
9. Online map showing all dive ops in a given area, links to reviews and SB comments on them, schedules for their boats, realtime indication of capacity, and universal one-click reservation system
10. Digital cert card that holds not only a positive ID and record of certifications, but also all logged dives, DAN status, emergency contact info, etc. - standardized so any shop can interface and instantly check you in

Oh, and none of these things cost more than $250.

I the latest copy of DAN's Alert Diver Magazine they had a VHF radio with GPS that clips to your BCD. Inside the waterproof case it can go to 428feet. Out side the case it can go to 3feet. The radio has a chat feature that can alert your dive boats VHF radio, or a panic button that would alert the coast guard. The radio has a USB port that you can power the radio, and down load the data to Google Earth. I think it runs for around $250.

   Well someday, the Titanium cylinders didn't pass DOT, at least one rebreather has this

Lifeline $299, ERIS $19.95 a year, includes on line logbook and C card verification via uploaded image of card. GoPro and BONICA ( not SLR ) fit that

So there ya go !

I want a pair of OMS Slipstreams in size L.

Ditto, except size medium.

Gear washing/rinsing machine

It's called a front-load machine on delicate.


I would like a multi-tank tracking computer (Are you listening, Uwatec???) like the Sol or the Smart Tec, in which I can flip a bit called "SM" for sidemount (or IND for Independent), and the computer would add two independent tanks together when it does gas consumption. Really nice, the display would flip back and forth between the two tanks . . .

Look into hot water suits, they exist.

How about a regulator and AI computer.....but the regulator contains an o2 and co2 sensor that transmits and automatically calculates limits for you. If the computer monitors multiple cylinders then it can handle deep/deco diving as well? It obviously knows if you are going up or down and would alert you to change gas at the optimum time.
