Much Needed Scuba Inventions?

[Spimon]

a navigation system that gets you back to where you started

Underwater GPS and bluetooth dive computers would be very nice indeed.

How about a silent bubble diffuser for the exhaust of my double hose regulator?

OK I know I’m opening myself up on this one but Panty Hose were a great invention in the early days of diving (the 60’s).

We used them to make it easier to get into and out of wet suits and they did add a bit of warmth. But to be fashionable make sure the seam lines on the back are straight.

But to answer your request for a double hose bubble diffuser, wrap some of the panty hose material around the exhaust ports. Experiment with it as to how many layers work best for you without creating to much back pressure.

It makes the exhaust look like an aquarium bubbler.

Yep Gary you have opened yourself up on this one.

I'm just waiting to see where it goes.

Oh by the way you do have an awful lot of knowledge about this. Anything you would like to share with us? Could you also point on the doll where the PADI instructor touched you.

All in fun

A cell phone signal blocking device for underwater use. This is to go with the Cell phone some idiot is going to design to work underwater.

Holy smokes Reef you need less free time.

I appreciate your concern, but it took me 60+ years to get to where I have the
free time, and with your permission, I'll spend it where I want to.
I do NOT need less of it; been there, done that.

I made a career as a design engineer largely because I enjoy the process.
With no need for any particular end point, it's just play. But it's less
fun in a vacuum; the feedback and interplay of other's ideas adds to it.

Reef I guess it was my way of saying you put quite a bit of time into your reply. Knowing it is all in fun, I guess I could have conveyed that it was meant to be in fun from my end too. I didn't mean to cause any hard feelings.

Oops. You had a smiley. I had a smiley. I thought that was enough.
No hard feelings at all, then or now.

But thanks for setting me straight that you thought I was po'd, so I could set you
straight that I wasn't. Guess I need more smileys.... :blinking::froggy:
That cover it? I can afford more ....

- Ditto for computers - through-the-case inductive recharge. Never open
the case except maybe every five years, acceptable to do at the factory.
And bluetooth for the PC link.

The SmartCom does this (more or less).

The case is factory sealed and non-user (or shop) serviceable. The battery easily lasts 5 years. The computer interface is IR.

Now that's funny.

Ok back to the real topic. How about a hoseless reg so you dont get tied up in a knot using a long hose or choked to death taking of your equiptment with that necklace around your neck.
