Or is it a death trap for the unaware?????
Lets hope that anybody using one doesn't go too deep for too long ......... without understanding the consequences

The ‘BOBs’ were on that dragon den show where the mad designer wanted a piles of cash to fund a huge robot fish tank, they thought he was a nutter so
did I, also had them for hire in Tenerife but the water was rather chilly to tempt herself

Iirc (and someone ought to confirm or otherwise) but does this not do away with the need to decompress. Can't remember the exact reason - but to
do with helmet and nor having mix pumped into lungs?

I would think it unlikely that those units would be able to go very deep. I would think that they would be fitted with a small tank, if memory serves
probably 60 cu ft, which is the size that doesn't allow you enough time on the bottom to need to decompress. It's the time element that
dictastes decompression. The only thing that you would need to do, is surface no quicker than your smallest air bubbles. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
