Description
- The invention relates to dive tanks and, more particularly, to an in-ground, enclosed, temperature-controlled super dive tank for recreational and/or training purposes.
- Every year more than 140,000 new divers are certified in the United States. Divers that dive recreationally or for training purposes need to dive on a regular basis in order to maintain their certification. Divers have limited options to address this need. These options include going to above-ground tanks or to rivers, lakes or quarries where visibility for diving is minimal and, in both cases, only during those time of the year when the weather is favorable for such diving. Divers, of course, have the option of traveling to favorable diving venues, such as the Caribbean and other open water warm climates, but this typically entails much time and expense.
- There exists, therefore, a need for a super dive tank that can be used for recreational and/or training purposes which is easily accessible, large enough to simulate the pleasures and rigors of open water diving, and which can be used all year round.
- The invention fulfills this need by providing an enclosed, in-ground, temperature-controlled super dive tank and methods for simulating open water diving by a diver using the super dive tank of the invention. The super dive tank of the invention is capable of providing a diver with as natural a diving experience as one would experience if one were diving in a coral reef in an ocean.
