And they have been available from ACME longer than that!

I would suspect that is more of a way to give kickbacks than anything.

It's an underwater propulsion system in the boots.
Propels to a screaming 4 mph. (or was that knots ?).
Nothing new, had them for years.

Dive teams and seals are gay anyway. They can keep their faggy boots.

Sorry, but Robert Maddox, AKA The Rocketman, is far ahead of anybody.

drift diving is the best diving, just because i can stay down so much longer when not exerting myself at all.

I went down the rabbit hole on this guy a while back. He is having a blast building his toys. You can see in his face how happy he is.

People like him are the spirit which built this country in the first place. There would have been no airplanes, battleships, moon rockets, ICBMs, or internal combustion engines without this kind of pioneering and engineering mindset. We need much more people to look up to guys like him as lifelong role models, not stupid social media thots and clout chasers.
