This hand-pumped Scorkl lets you breathe underwater for 10 minutes
A new product called Scorkl opens new horizons for those afraid of going underwater, by combining the best of both worlds – scuba diving and snorkeling. A hand pump refills the underwater breathing device – that has almost the same size as a water bottle – offering you around 10 minutes of free exploration, according to Inhabitat.
The Scorkl is a lightweight device you put on your mouth to breathe in air while underwater. The company says the cilinder is created under the same standards and specifications as a cilinder you would use to scuba dive, but can be refilled with a Scorkl hand pump. A pressure gauge on the Scorkl lets users know how much air they have left.
The company says the product is safe and can be used by anyone. However, untrained divers should be cautious when swimming with it. They shouldn’t go below 9.8 feet in depth or use it more than five times a day. Trained divers should be able to go further than 9.8 feet. The device is made for shallow diving and people shouldn’t go further than 32 feet. The Scorkl comes with an information kit that warns users and offers them tips on how to avoid pulmonar damage.
