Those are cool! I want two please. I can’t believe how well the air bubble stays together...and it shoots out pretty far.

And at $130 each two are cheaper than anything else scuba related on my Christmas wish list!

I was surprised by how far and fast the bubble moved. That is just operating at whatever you intermediate pressure is set for. Attach it to a separate tank & reg with a higher IP and you should be able to improve on that if the unit is built to work at higher pressures.

These things look pretty cool. I was at my dive shop last week and he had a couple of them, there are really light, but they are a decent size to be holding onto. He was saying they are a blast to play with. He and another guy were apparently out in the river with scooters playing in essence pants ball chasing one another. They sound like they could be a lot of fun

The rings do not look too big but every time you pull the trigger there is a lot of air coming out of the top of the unit too so it would be hard to tell. The only other possible draw back I can see is the popping sound it makes when the trigger is pulled. You will feel that in your ears too but again I can not tell from the video what that would be like.

I actually saw one of these in action my last dives at Vortex Springs a couple of weeks ago. At 30-40 feet when the rings got to me they were big enough to put my fist through. They were cool indeed!

I should have some GoPro footage of them, I haven’t gone through and reviewed it all yet.
