New device lets you breathe underwater without diving equipment

A small diving cylinder promises hassle-free underwater fun for everyone. Scorkl wants to free divers from having to use heavy and bulky equipment. It advertises diving for up to 10 minutes in shallow waters up to 20 meters. Founder David Hallamore set up a Kickstarter campaign to collect AU$ 30,000 ($22,824). One week after the campaigns start he has already far surpassed the funding goal, collecting AU$ 485,726 ($369,543).
