Much Needed Scuba Inventions?

[vixtor]

A breathing device that would extract oxygen from the water: you will have to carry only a small ammount of nitrogen/helium that would be recirculated and combined with that instant oxygen as needed.

a navigation system that gets you back to where you started

They have that. Order the Sport & Scout Online

I'm waiting for a underwater GPS system.

Hollis has the closest thing... I will try and post a picture of it.

Heated wetsuit anybody?

They have been around for a long time and can either warm or cool a diver. I used one in the mid 60's.

Heated wetsuit anybody?

Just drink plenty of water before your dive...the pee warms the suit very nicely...


As for other inventions, how about surgically implanted gills?

A tank the size of a thermos with the same bottom time at a 100cf tank...

These are widely available now. Problem is you need to attach them to a re-breather for them to be much good bottom-time wise.

What diving REALLY needs is an $800 pair of fins. Oh, wait...
