Well, in fact it is my B-day today… gosh I’m 32…  that’s why I decided to write a post about my personal  5 scuba diving products I  may want to add to my “Birth Day Scuba Wish list” .  My list is not a list of  “conventional scuba diving products” like BCD’s or Regulators…  this year I wanted something different, something original, that’s why I decided to do a bit of research for the coolest scuba diving gadgets out there.

So here we go:
Gabriel’s top 5 scuba products to add to my Birthday Wish List

1. The first  product on my list is such a simple, practical and logical object to have… that I don’t really know yet, if this is a brilliant idea, (or simply-plain silly), dear readers, please meet the  “Scuba Sight ” or in another words, a Scuba Mirror, once again the idea is so simple that it amazed me that no body else came with an idea as simple as that. This is a mirror, to be able to check dive buddies, signal or investigate and spot difficult parts. I like the idea, specially because it reminds me of times where a “tiny mirror vision” could have been handy.

Would I buy it? Not really. I mean.. this is one of those types of products that you can live without and for sure, you can do a bit of DIY and build yourself one. For more info check  http://scubasight.com

2. The second scuba gadget is the new Hammerhead Crono XL dive watch by Freestyle USA. Obviously because It is my Birthday I can be 100% non objective and confess that I REALLY love the Freestyle USA range of dive watches. Believe it or not I own 4 of these watches (yes… you may say I have a scuba diving watch fetish).

Anyway, the New Hammerhead Crono is simply: Cool . And I like Cool things.  To be honest this is not the typical “tech diving Jedi type of watch”.. but it has everything you need and it looks fantastic.

There is nothing worse than seeing divers with dive watches that look like they were  taken out of Star Trek . Instead the guys of Free Style USA make watches that look great. The price tag is also very easy to afford.

That’s why this new watch is for sure a great new addition to my fetish …

3rd on my list… is the coolest underwater accessory of all times. Say hi to the Idive…  and this is what the Idive is all about

“Dive with more than just the bubbles from your regulator providing the soundtrack. iDive’s locking cam knob, robust seal, and durable polycarbonate construction will ensure your iPod stays dry while delivering high quality audio and crystal clear videos during your dive. You’ll actually look forward to long decompression stops.”

Pretty cool , don’t you think?

The first issue is that I don’t know if all types of Ipod may work with the Idive and for sure it can be pretty expensive if any potential “leak”…
The idea of going diving with some cool Jack Johnson playing around…  diving could be too much fun.

mmm maybe someone else though of this already?

4th Cool Scuba Present I have added to my list is the Liquid Image Camera Mask. The Idea is pretty simple (once again!) but this time… it is brilliant.

An scuba diving mask that can take photos. So in a few words, everything you see, you can take a photo off.  Not only the idea sounds fun, but brilliant for diving instructors or for photography lover.

I know that this type of camera is not TOP professional Underwater Photography material, but again.. it is all in the spirit of Scuba Fun, so the liquid image camera mask is for sure in my list of the gadgets to have one day. More info at  http://www.liquidimageco.com

5. Uwahu Scuba Fashion. Well, we have all seen the typical scuba t-shirts, but the guys of Uwahu are just cool dudes… .

Let’s face it, we are all sick of the same slogans “Mad for diving” or “One day we are all going to dive”… come on… we need something new in Fashion. Well, Uwahu stuff is pretty wicked. Their designs are modern, funny and good quality. I love the idea of a SMART Scuba Tshirt.  So any Uwahu T-shirt would be a nice b-day present.

Well, that’s it… my list of 5 cool scuba present. Maybe next year I will do another list, or even better… may be I should start getting my Christmas Scuba Diving List… what do you think?
