what would you want invented

[paradicio]

I use the Sherwood Maximus regulator which comes with the metal fins that help retain moisture. Helps with cottonmouth.

A convenient way to get a detailed view of underwater terrain. Not just "80 foot sounding here, 76 foot sounding over there", but something that would show where boulders, wrecks, reefs, etc are as easily as if there wasn't any water there.

Maybe I need to save up for a good sidescan.

Reflectance imaging does exactly that.. however, it is probably not as detailed as you would hope for. Take a look at these charts: http://www.floridanearshore.com/
shipwrecks show up, reefs, etc. The structure has to be pretty large to show up with this type of sensing.

Yeah, small and cheap sidescan.

It's already out there.. http://scuda.com/The_SCUDA.htm

But they are kind of a pain to keep clean, and a bit bulky. I've found the Apollo Bio Filter solves the dry mouth for me.

Years ago Scubapro had a reg that would deliver moist air to prevent dry mouth. The reg was introduced in the late 70's. I guess it never caught on. Anyone remember the name of this old reg? I think it may have even warmed the air. WABA comes to mind? Warm Air something something?

The S.A.M=Scuba Air Moisturizer

Was introduced about 40 years ago

One is currently for sale on E bay=$50.00

Not aware of Scuba pro model ==more information?

A regulator that doesn't need a tank, like the james bond trick gadget, mouthpiece that extracts the O2 from the water like electrolysis extracts hydrogen and oxygen. We'd breath a lot less and wouldn't get nitrogen narced, but the reg would have to automatically adjust the o2 % for the depth so you didn't tox.
That would be trick!

 

[scubanimal]

A CO2 monitor that is pratical for Rebreather use,
An automatic bailout valve if .16 < PPO2 < 1.6 or O2 Tox hit
combine all that with Dil controls into Rebreather so RB adds Dil or O2 to maintain Setpoint.

BTW, a rebreather does not dehydrate a diver nearly as fast as open circuit.

Decompression pill. Take one before entering the water and you will have no more Nitrogen uptake than at the surface.

Very interesting, thanks!
