The folks at Hammacher Schlemmer offer some interesting stuff to buy
from time to time. However, this latest offering really threw me for a
loop. For $825,000 US, it could be yours as well. Or, just make note of
the specs in case you need something like it in your Traveller campaign.
Here's the ad copy:
The Self Propelled Aquanaut's Suit
This is the self-propelled diving suit that maintains sea level air
pressure while enabling descents to 1,000' below the water’s surface.
Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the suit provides access to
coral reefs, shipwrecks, and the sea floor via 24 sealed and integrated
A536 aluminum alloy rotary joints that impart mobility to the wearer’s
arms and legs. Four 1.6-horsepower thrusters integrated into the suit
provide vertical, horizontal, and rotational movement, two 150-watt LED
lights combine to illuminate underwater subjects with 19,200 lumens, and
an integrated Imagenex sonar maintains situational awareness. An
intercom system provides surface communication on hard wire with a
wireless through-water backup, while its 50-hour life support systems
(2x oxygen and 1x carbon dioxide scrubber) ensure safety. A 1,250'
umbilical connects the suit with one’s preferred topside support crew
and power source, enabling remote control of thrusters, lights, and
real-time monitoring of cabin pressure and oxygen, freeing a diver to
observe underwater features and aquatic life using the built-in,
shoulder-mounted high-definition video camera. Comprehensive training
available. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. Please
call 1-800-227-3528 for details. 80" H x 48" W x 30" D. (550 lbs.)
