Re: Freedivers safety vest in development

Two years ago after the death of Gene Higa at US Nationals 2004 in Hawaii... alot of spearo's started rethinking safety issues. Many idea's were discussed at which time I thought ... why don't we just combine a Suunto D3 with a Co2 life vest ? I drew up plans and did a patent search ($500 ) only to find out just how expensive product development / marketing would be. I'm very happy there were others on the same sheet of music with the financial means to get through the product development stage. I wish them the best of luck with their commercial venture... the product is long overdue. Would'nt be surprised if it quickly became a required item for competition spearfishing.
