Since my wife and I have taken up SCUBA, our two boys (8 & 4) are infatuated with the idea of diving, and both have decided to be SCUBA divers for halloween. I feel like I can throw something together for them but I was looking for some ideas for dive components made of household items. The wetsuits will be stretchy sweat/jogging suits, and I plan on grabbing the kiddy mask/fins/snorkel from Toys R Us (hopefully on clearance). I saw plans for wrapping a 2-liter soda bottle in foil to make a tank. And I can convert a belt and styrofoam blocks into weight belts. My biggest question is what to turn into a regulator (2nd Stage). I was thinking of cutting the mouthpiece off the snorkel and atting it to something spheroid to make the 2nd stage. Any ideas on what that could be? I plan on attaching it to the "tank" with a section of pneumatic air hose. Any thoughts on a cheap imitation BC? It is going to be warm so we may skip this item. Finally I was thinking my wife could sew or iron on a "diver down" flag onto their chests.
What do you think? Any other ideas?
