Interesting only in the fact that it's nothing new. Creating a nylon cover and integrating and rebadging generic manf. scuba gear has been tried several times before. Unfortunately, bypassing physics and the mechanics of OC gear cannot be overcome at present until some perfects the cryogenic system!!!!!!
Hah. Personally, the smallish scuba tank makes for short bottom times and not a lot of bailout capability. Anyone wanting to make it easier should perfect their snorkleing skills. X
p.s. historically there have been many iterations of the same idea. Some that come to mind are the:
At-Pac, US Divers 3 bottled - shroud enveloped Cousteau diver clone, the
HUB system etc. A fabric covered backpack fitted with a 45 al. + hardware + 15 lbs of lead will still come out heavier than 50 lbs. and would realistically give a diver only enough time to sample minor amounts of fun before coming up with ample reserve.
Far better to invest in a modular system which allows the user to exhange bottles wherever they go.
