Scuba-Doo Underwater Scooter
hawado writes "Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water, 'Fans of the Segway scooter now have a way to look just as silly traveling underwater as they do on land thanks to the efforts of an inventive Australian company.' 'The Scuba-Doo comes with everything you would want in a submerged Segway.' I just don't know what to say, but I am sure all you /.rs will have some really great comments. The company's web site can be found here."
I don't like the way you start to drown as soon as you fall off. :-)
... you're all free to say "Scuba-Doo, where are you?"
Well, this costs as much as some new cheaper cars. It also, arguably, looks cooler than the Segway and travels underwater without the usual scuba gear / complicated breathing apparatuses. if i was rich, bored and wanted to have underwater paintball fights / play submarine bumper-tag, i'd buy one!
[sean connery] Sho Q, what do you have for me thish time? [/connery]
a) someone runs their battery dead and drowns. b) someone runs into something, breaks the seal on the helmet and drowns. c) someone takes it to a depth at which the glass bursts under the pressure and drowns. d) someone gets run into by a frigate,yacht or even a jetski because they are too close to the surface, runs out of battery power whilst they are unconcious and drowns... I just don't see the fun in drowning...
ok.. so heads you lose tails I win. right?
After seeing that picture, I sure want to go buy the product. She just looks so happy, as if she'll suffocate with joy riding this thing.
Oh yeah, I remember this. This was in the episode with the underwater ghost dude, right?
Australia, eh? Swim in the wrong place with this "Scuba-Doo" and a shark'll turn you into a nice "Scuba-Snack".
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
Look. All someone's done is taken the front of a Stormtrooper mask, cut some chunks out of the sides, painted it yellow, and stuck in an incredibly photoshopped woman.
:)
I mean, her arms appear to be coming from her breasts, if her head's attached to her body like that then she's got incredibly bad scoliosis, and the bottom half of her bikini appears to have been drawn onto her body by an epileptic kid using a pre-alpha version of MS Paint whilst in the middle of a tonic seizure.
Her face also appears to be, for reasons unknown, forced against the front of the plexiglass screen with some incredible force.
Clearly some huge conspiracy
Ruh-roh!
Karma: It's all a bunch of tree-huggin' hippy crap!
"Woa johnny! Look at the size of that thing- you must got yourself a big yellow whaleshark! Hang on there while I give the ole engine some juice to tire the bugger out."
and I'd have made a million from it if not for you meddling kids..I mean /.'ers finding all these flaws.
