<p><b> by Anthony Falco</b></p>If you’ve never had the opportunity or resources to go scuba diving, this new half-scuba / half-snorkel device might be the introduction to life under the sea that you’ve been waiting for. The Scorkl</a> is a compact, lightweight scuba tank that refills with a hand pump. The tiny air tank includes a pressure gauge as well as a breathe-on-demand regulator that the manufacturer claims meets scuba industry standards.</p>About 12 minutes of pumping yields up to 10 minutes of air time and each miniature tank can be refilled up to 50 times total.</p>While the tank is safe to use at depths approaching 66 feet, the company recommends that untrained divers not venture much further than 10 feet below the water’s surface.</p>Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until next summer because the Scorkl doesn’t ship until October (we hope).</p></p><br /> <p>The post Scuba Diving For Dummies</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
