Floating PowerSnorkel Pumps Air to Divers Beneath

Floating PowerSnorkel Pumps Air to Divers Beneath

Remember those old diving suits with the big metal helmets and the weighted shoes that let you walk across the ocean floor. The divers carried no tanks, relying instead on a partner pumping air down a hose from the surface. If the guy up top decided to take a smoke break, or just nodded off, the poor diver would suffocate. So forget that lazy, good-for-nothing smoker on the surface. This is 2011 after all. Replace his sorry ass with the PowerSnorkel, a “Power Snorkel Hookah.”

The hookah consists of a buoy with a pump and compressor. It sends air down a tube to the diver(s) below.
