BOB
the "Breathing Observation Bubble" enables
you to dispense with scuba gear to cruise amongst reefs and fish.
Spectacular visibility is achieved using a clear acrylic, air-filled
dome mounted on the headpiece. There is no need for a regulator,
just breathe normally! Air is constantly supplied to the dome from
a scuba tank attached to the front of BOB's body.
The driver sits comfortably astride a seat under which ballast
weights are secured. BOB is powered by a 40lb.
thrust electric motor and a rechargeable 12 volt battery, both are
housed under the seat.
Combined they provide a top speed of 2.5 knots. A steering wheel
and instrument console provides full control and system monitoring.
BOB is fully equipped with all the electrical and
air equipment required. All that is needed is a scuba tank, 50lbs.
of divers ballast.
In
BOB your head and shoulders are in a bubble of
air that is being constantly fed from a scuba tank. You are
subject to the same effects from the increasing and decreasing
pressure as you would be if you were diving with a mask and
regulator. You need to know and use the standard techniques for
pressure equalization and respect the same safety rules to counter
the effects of pressure.
BOB requires less physical exertion. This enables
a BOB diver to experience the benefits of the
underwater world while driving and viewing sea life without any
encumbrance.
