Just under a year ago I started Scuba Diving with the Mansfield BSAC club. It was something I had not tried before and with my partner at the time taking an interest in it I thought I would give her some support and give it a try myself. We spent over six months attending pool sessions and training towards an ocean diver qualification. Due to one thing or another we have yet to pass this course and have still not been out into open water and now due to us breaking up I cannot see me continuing with the newly found hobby.
I guess it was never meant to be, it was fun whilst it lasted but in all honesty I don’t think diving is for me. Typically, whilst being involved in the Scuba industry for such a short time I did come across a new business opportunity which has taken off rather well. With us being involved in the action camera market it wasn’t look before I got introduced to a scuba diving mask with an integrated digital camera, rather ironic really as one of the first things I thought when I started was how cool it would be if you could get one. Low and behold, months later, one hits the American market
There are now a range of masks from Liquid Image which are practically digital camera masks. There is the Liquid Image 310 which can be used down to 10 metres and the Liquid Image 320HD which operates down to a depth of 35 metres. We have all been totally blown away by the quality of these masks not to mention the amazing images you can take with them. Oh, did I mention that they also do video too, truly amazing.
Unfortunately I will not be able to put mine into as much use as I initially intended but no doubt shall make a trip back into the scuba world soon!!
