Scuba for Foster Kids and Futuristic Dive Apparatus
Two wildly different links today:
Clay Today has an article about a SPLASH, a program design to introduce Florida foster kids to scuba diving.
The Design Blog has a post about a futuristic dive helmet. The design includes elements like heads-up displays and GPS-based underwater maps. The helmet basically acts like a rebreather, but extracts oxygen from seawater through eloctrolysis. I’m not sure how serious this design is supposed to be, given the lack of equalization ability and the (current) impracticality of extracting oxygen from seawater. Nevertheless, I’d be glad to test out a prototype.
