WATER TOYS - Take the PowerDive plunge

The PowerDive air-supply system was created for those who enjoy the simplicity of snorkeling and would like to experience the wonders of breathing underwater.

The patented shallow-water diving system bridges the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving. Safe and easy to use, it doesn’t require certification, although the manufacturer recommends you undertake diver training prior to diving.

“Even if you have never snorkeled or have only basic swimming skills, PowerDive is easily accessible to couples, families, children eight years and older, and seniors,” said PowerDive. “It’s a great way for a certified diver to introduce non-certified partners to the underwater breathing experience.”

The PowerDive system utilises a 12m airline connected to a floating 12V compressor that follows a diver’s every movement.

“The airline allows you to tour underwater near the bottom, at mid-water or on the surface depending on your level of comfort,” explained PowerDive. “There is no heavy diving gear. Your salesman will familiarise you with the PowerDive equipment and run through the setup and diving practices of the PowerDive.”

Not only is the PowerDive great fun for exploring the underwater world, the manufacturer added that it’s also ideal for underwater boat maintenance, such as hull cleaning or propeller entanglement.Prices start from $1495 (PowerSnorkel).
