The world's first power heated wetsuit

The idea was straightforward. Design and build the world's first power-heated wetsuit. The concept was unique. Rip Curl has made the best surfing wetsuits since 1969, but never before have innovation, technology and science so meticulouslly challenged.


The plan was precise. Research, development, testing and production unrivalled. Succes would open up a new frontier for surfing exploration. Failure was not an option.

The Rip Curl H-Bomb is now a reality. It has conquered the extremes of the Artic Circle. It is backed by oru elite surf team and performance tested by World Champion Mick Fanning.

The H-Bomb use 2 lithium-ion 7,4 volt batteries. Each battery weighs 120g. Batteries are rechargeable. Recharge time is aprox 3 hours to restore full power. The batteries power up heating elements on your back.


The batteries are carried in internal pockets on the lower back, positioned so there's minimal impact on your flexibility.


The temperature of the elements is controlled using 3 settings on the switch.

How to properly clean and your regulator after diving

This instructional video by Scuba.com will show you how to properly clean your regulator after a day of diving. You can keep it clean and in good condition if you rinse it with fresh warm water to remove all the salt. It will also help if you have the ability to attach it back to a tank and blow all the remaining water out. As always, a yearly inspection at your dive shop is needed.

Pee-valve for women

Thanks to better drysuits and cylinder configurations, people are spending more time underwater, and if you keep drinking plenty of liquids, there will come a time when nature calls.

The She-P makes it possible for female (technical) divers to comfortably use a P-valve while diving in a drysuit instead of using diapers.


The She-P is a soft silicone device featuring a reservoir with ‘output’ tube, that has flexible ‘wings’ that are designed to be adhered to the skin with a medical adhesive intended for use with prosthetic devices. This results in a proper seal and comfortable urinating.



The price is 84 € for a She-P and 278 € for the complet kit.

Making a scuba jacket

In the following video shows the process of manufacturing a jacket, jackets seem manufacturer's Aqualung, according to the anagram is seen in the video.

As you will see this is a rather long and laborious process. Having seen the video you may no longer seem so expensive the price of the jacket.

Making a scuba tank

In this video is all the process of manufacture of the scuba diving tanks that so many times we have loaded to our back. It is a somewhat peculiar process of manufacture and it never is of more knowledge since our diving gear is done, since it allows us to know it more and to understand better his operation.

The video is somewhat long but I personally have found it very interesting.

WASP Injector Knife

Nobody wants to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a dangerous marine predator. These situations, as uncommon as they may be, can occur. Until now, the diver has been extremely vulnerable and defenseless.

The WASP Injection Knife gives you the ability to defend yourself with deadly force and, if nothing else, it gives you peace of mind and increased comfort while reducing diver stress levels.

When you are crawling around inside a shipwreck with your whole world illuminated only as far as your dive light will allow it is nice to know that you are carrying a weapon that can truly protect you.

As divers, we all know what the effects of compressed gas are underwater. Our training teaches us that our lungs would burst from over-inflation if we held our breath and rose to the surface. This principle is key to the effectiveness of the WASP Injection System.

This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world's largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface.

Price: $379.95

I think that it's too much dangerous, there are a lot of crazy people that can use for evil things. Here you can see a video demostration.
