One of the most exciting and unexplored worlds isn't located out in deep space
like so many people believe. This largely unexplored world covers 70% of the
surface of our own Earth and is a sustaining factor in our ecosystem. A
spacesuit isn't needed to explore the otherworldly forms found beneath the
surface, but proper dive gear can extend the stay. The easiest way to feel like
you have been transported into another world is to scuba dive. Not only is the
imagery alien, but a diver feels weightless as well. Add to this the feeling of
carrying the life-support pack dive tank and viewing through dive masks and the
diving experience can truly feel out of this world even though the diver may be
actually getting closer to their evolutionary roots. Modern dive equipment
allows the diver to experience underwater locations with incredible ease and
comfort. Though the days of heavy hard to maneuver equipment are still around
the trend has been towards more streamlined, sleek and user friendly designs
that give the diver a better, less distorted field of view, increased locomotion
and maneuverability, and allow longer dive times with less decompression. Even
dive watches are becoming capable underwater computers that can calculate a
number of dive situations simultaneously. These devices often work in tandem
with advanced regulators that can preserve air and warn the diver of some
potential dangers. One of the most promising diving developments is the
introduction and use of re-breathers as opposed to regular scuba dive tanks.
Typically a regulator will dispel the divers exhalation which contains dangerous
CO2 as well as beneficial breathing air. This is the cloud of bubbles seen
coming from most divers and not only does it scare away fish and other
underwater life, but it contains a large amount of useful air. A re-breather
uses a closed loop and air scrubbers that remove the CO2 from the loop and store
it in cartridges. This is very similar to how the space shuttle recycles air in
space. Not only does all the available air get saved for later use, increasing
dive times exponentially, but here are no annoying and distracting bubbles
blocking anyone's view or scaring away the wildlife. They are silent and
surprisingly small, often smaller than two large dive tanks, and come with
advanced dive computers and heads up displays. For technical diving, underwater
filming, wreck exploration and caving a re-breather is absolutely essential and
allows for an unprecedented range of movement coupled with the longest dive
times. It is no wonder these are preferred by Navy seals. Swimming with all that
equipment can be slow and tedious even with the biggest diving fins which is why
an increasing number of divers have begun using diver propulsion vehicles, often
called dive scooters. Dive time is limited by the amount of air and exertion
quickly uses that available air up even if using a re-breather. The easiest and
most fun way to increase dive time is with a strong dive scooter allowing for
the best out of this world exploration this side of the moon. I'm sure that a
whale would be just as surprised to see a diver for the first time as we would a
being from outer space.
