Scuba Forum / General / February 2005SCUBA article
Hey, I'm writing an article on scuba for a major men's magazine and I need some side-bar info on trends or new products in SCUBA. Anyone have any ideas that you've heard about? DOn't have to be elaborate, just give me a product/company, place, event, whatever, and I'll do the research on it. Thanks to whoever helps, if anyone.

If it were for real, it would save a lot of hassle packing at the end of a trip. The jumpsuit includes a towel and carrying pod. Looks good on paper.  SignatureBut then again, what do I know?

To which Dillon Pyron queried in all ernestness: > Does the suit rinse the pee out, too? I quote the ad: "Imagine if you will . . . how much easier and convenient your dive adventures would be without cold, wet, heavy, and foul smelling (sic) dive wear." Maybe it does :-) Actually, I misquoted the ad in my original post. It says "dry within minutes after taking it out of the water" which could mean out of the rinse water. What the add doesn't say is what thickness the suit is available in. The patent on the technology is only "pending". SignatureBut then again, what do I know?

We might even be able to get rid of that annoying wait 24 hours to fly rule. SignatureSteve The above can be construed as personal opinion in the absence of a reasonable belief that it was intended as a statement of fact. If you want a reply to reach me, remove the SPAMTRAP from the address. > Save a lot of hassle, indeed. We might even be able to get rid of that > annoying wait 24 hours to fly rule. We did get rid of it, or at least DAN did, two years ago. Many dive computer algorithms had gotten rid of it way before that. I never had it to begin with. SignatureBut then again, what do I know?

I can't think of a more fascinating product development for SCUBA diving than the Spare Air. So many other cool uses too! http://www.spareair.com/ -- Randy F.
