    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    Something I just noticed on their web site (not IGG pages) Tritongills While they refer to the IGG site, the straight internet page does not refer to the "liquid oxygen" nonsense in any manner, shape, or form. It has remained unchanged as to content since the start.

    Don't worry--they immediately came back with an even less likely technology and began the scam anew, amassing a quarter of a million dollars since April 1 and still going. It's been debunked again, but it seems there's a bottonless supply of people that want to be scammed. Their latest doctored...

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    I'm seeing comments on their funding page from people asking for refunds, so some folks are finally getting the message. They are not making info available easily concerning refunding, so if any of you have access to post to their IGG comments section and Facebook page, please put out the...

    It's of the variety of "I could stand in the street shooting people and they wouldn't care." Like someone said earlier, what is left to do if people actively choose to be ripped off after being repeatedly shown that what is being done is a scam? Should we just wait for the inevitable and tell...

    Oh, this is rich (from their campaign comments on IGG): So just to be clear, the microporous membrane and the extracting O2 from water was just a straight LIE that you told? Saeed KhademiCampaigner18 hours ago Hi Francesco, it is not a lie, we said that we use our artificial gills with the...

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    Check the comments on youtube under the new video. Unlike Facebook and indiegogo, they can't control what is seen there. If you can comment on FB, be sure to ask the hard questions they don't want to answer.

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    I've been going round with a couple of fanboys/shills after posting comments on the new video. One of the things I've learned today is that all along I've only been stating a scientific opinion, no more valid than any other opinion out there. Damn, knew there was a reason I shouldn't have...

    1. The man in the video is never identified, and probably never will be nor be available for interview. There's a reason for this; 2. Note how he holds his head in a rigid way, never straying from the pose he holds in the video. There is no presentation of his head, mask or the device he...

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    So it appears; the indiegogo page cannot be accessed as of 4:50pm local, and a quick search on that crowdfunding platform under "Triton" does not bring up the campaign at all. Let's see if it stays that way. Wonder if they got any of the money that was collected from this scam. Anyone taking...

    Ecofriendly Things To Leave Your Mark

    In another thread, we've been taking about collecting shells--pro and con. You can also take it in a different direction; doing something that you don't take home, but instead can improve the places you visit. Ecotourism is becoming more and more popular with visitors to sites all over the...

    More Egyptian Woes As Aircraft Is Hijacked

    No one was hurt, but it is a blow that continues to harm a reeling Egyptian tourism industry and the businesses that serve it--including dive operations. Dive centers in the region are closing at a high rate as the influx of tourists--and their money--has significantly slowed since the crash of...

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    Not in the scuba/adventure industry, but something very similar is currently ongoing in the automotive world. Like the Triton, initial investors seem to be totally blind to the obvious (the product will never come to market) despite being shown over and over that this is the case. It's another...

    World's First Artificial Gills Re-breather

    Yes, I've been blocked, so I know I struck a nerve. This puts me in good company. :) Amazing that there appear to be some people that are freely continuing to drink the kool-aid and vehemently defend these folks. They can't all be sock puppets and shills, so what's the motivation?
