Fluorescent light technology is being developed to help scuba divers find human remains in lakes, rivers, and ponds. Researchers at the University of Huddersfield are trying to exploit natural fluorescence of human bones through different light sources using coloured filters, using these filters will mean that our bones will glow underwater helping rescue divers find remains.
Aqua Lung is mixing up the age-old Cam Band. Strapping your cylinder on has always been a pain in the butt, so Aqua Lung decided to get their smart boys and girls to look into it and they’ve come up with something, FAST. FAST, or Front Access Secure Tank is not just a tortured acronym it’s a quick way to strap on your cylinder from the front. You basically hook over your BCD cam band as normal but fit a quick, or should I say fast, ratchet strap around the cylinder and then clamp the buckle from the front of the BCD to lock it into place.

Like most things in the world today there’s an app for scuba diving, there are hundreds in fact. Many are just games but more and more downloadable apps are linking to our dive computers and acting as digital logbooks and more. I filmed a couple of videos recently on a pair of dive computers and both had apps to connect to and it seems to be an ever-increasing feature on dive computers that they come with Bluetooth built in.
A 30-year-old mystery has finally been solved after conservationists found the source of plastic Garfield phones that have been washing up on French beaches. So yeah like I said for the past 30 years these phones have been washing ashore and pretty much everyone was stumped to why this was happening.
