we've been thinking for some time about how we can develop a system that would allow us to safely dive to deeper depths.
in the past, i came up with an idea that could be used for free immersion and constant weight. i posted it to apneadiver. it worked in theory, but i was starting to think that it might not work in practice, or would be too costly, difficult to build. also, because it was non-portable, there was the risk that people would mess with it. sorry, i think i've lost the drawing i did of that contraption.... anyway, i've since though up of another system that can be used to retrieve a diver from depth, it's only suitable for constant weight though.
it's not as good as DRUMS but i think it's quite a good idea, and it's simple, cheap to make, and portable.
i'd appreciate any comments from anyone...... let me know if you've tried anything similar!
i've attached a doodle of the setup below... sorry, if it looks like it's been done by a 5 year old.
