SCORKL - Breathe underwater with TOTAL freedom
AU$ 1,294,688
USING THE SCORKL WITH AND WITHOUT SCUBA TRAINING
The Scorkl is safe, easy and for everyone. However, if you are not a trained scuba diver there are restrictions on use and risks to be aware of. Misuse of the Scorkl can be dangerous. Whilst decompression sickness (more commonly known as “the bends”) isn't much of a risk because of the depth and time restrictions of such a small cylinder, pulmonary damage (chest expansion injury) is nevertheless a risk if a user holds their breath during ascent or ascends too quickly.
Non-scuba trained users should not use the Scorkl below 3m depth or more than five times in one day. Staying above 3m dramatically reduces this risk of pulmonary damage (although does not eliminate it entirely). Each purchaser will be provided with an information kit informing them of this (and other) risks of using the Scorkl as well as strategies to avoid them. These strategies will include, but not be limited to, staying above 3m in depth and not holding one's breath and/or exhaling during ascent, and not ascending too quickly.
Scuba-trained users will be able to use the Scorkl below 3m at their discretion but they too will be warned of the same risks.
The Scorkl is only intended for shallow water use. We recommend that scuba-trained users not use the Scorkl below 10m and that non-scuba-trained users stay above 3m in depth as mentioned above.
Each Scorkl comes fitted with a pressure gauge so that the user can know how much air remains in the cylinder at any time.
AIR QUALITY
The Scorkl can be filled either directly from a scuba tank or from our high-pressure hand pump. If filled from a scuba tank that itself has been filled by a commercial compressed air supplier, the air can be assured to be of good quality because of industry supplier standards. These standards are concerned mainly with carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oil and water levels. Since the Scorkl hand pump doesn't have as many working parts as a mechanical dive compressor, and is muscle-powered rather than petrol powered, the risk of contamination from latent carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is dramatically reduced. This is the same for oil contaminants. Notwithstanding this, each Scorkl pump comes fitted with an air filter which is comprised of the same materials, and performs the same function, as a filter fitted to a mechanical dive compressor. The Scorkl filter should be replaced after fifty refills and extras will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign.
EQUIPMENT STANDARDS, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Scorkl cylinder and regulator are made to the same international specifications and standards as normal scuba cylinders and regulators and need to be visually inspected and/or tested as regularly as the guidelines in your country require (some are different). This may be as regularly as every year or every one hundred dives.
The information kit provided to each purchaser will include information regarding recommended best practice methods for care and maintenance of each of the Scorkl components (cylinder, regulator, filter, hand pump, case).
The Scorkl cylinder is manufactured to the same specifications and manufacturing standards as a normal SCUBA cylinder
The Scorkl regulator is an always-on, breathe-on-demand, balanced single stage regulator and uses the same time proven technology found in regulators used by SCUBA divers around the world. Each Scorkl comes with a pressure gauge which tells you how much air is left at any time
Each Scorkl comes with a FREE scuba tank refill adapter which enables you to refill the Scorkl from a scuba tank in seconds.
If you want to be able to refill the Scorkl whenever and wherever you like, we have developed a high-pressure hand pump option. See below for how it works.
The hand pump filter (below) filters air moisture and impurities
Adventure Case to transport and store your full Scorkl kit safely
High-pressure hand pump can pump to 3,000psi+, filling the Scorkl with enough air to last up to 10 minutes underwater. It achieves these extreme pressures by using an intricate four-stage system:
The Scorkl regulator and high pressure hand pump have been in development for the last twelve months, with multiple sample orders manufactured and refined.

Risks and challenges
Risks and challenges
The Scorkl and hand pump require high-precision manufacturing and high-quality materials since they both operate with air stored at high pressures. The primary components are: the Scorkl cylinder, Scorkl regulator, hand pump chambers, hand pump rods, scuba tank refill adapter and hand pump air filter. All components have already been manufactured to high quality during sample runs.
The primary risk is of production delays. Coordinating with an overseas factory and maintaining quality throughout every step is a challenge. Fulfillment and shipping becomes a hurdle when dealing with thousands of orders. We will not rush through these steps and will tackle them carefully, one by one. We will take the Scorkl to the "design for manufacturing" step soon, and the target is to ship out units in October 2017.
There is some risk that items will not come exactly as pictured, due to manufacturing considerations. The promised function will not be different, and any style changes if any will be iterative and non-significant to the original look and feel.

Combined Shape手动打气的小型氧气瓶SCORKL-具体内容 | 玩意儿潜水新装置Scorkl问世 可在水下呼吸10分钟
　　【环球科技综合报道】据英国《每日邮报》6月13日报道，来自墨尔本的David Hallamore发明了一款名为Scorkl的潜水装置，可以让人们在水下呼吸长达10分钟，为他们打开了水下世界的大门。
大多数呼吸管只能让人们在水下呼吸两分钟左右，就得露出水面换气。而且传统的潜水装备需要人们进行大量训练，还需考取执照才能使用。但Scorkl只需用打气筒手动打气或通过潜水氧气瓶充上气，然后放在使用者口中，便能让他们在水下冒险。每个装置还配有压力计，告知你剩余空气的准确数值。
　Hallamore说：“这改变了所有爱水人士的游戏规则，不管他们是有执照的重装备潜水员，还是休闲潜水员，不管是潜水叉鱼和自由潜水爱好者，还是轮船船主。Scorkl只需人们花一点点钱，便打开了水下冒险的全新世界，省去传统的潜水装备的麻烦。”
　他还说，他想在全世界创建一个“Scorklers”社区，让使用Scorkl的人们真正体会到像鱼儿一样畅游大海是什么感觉。
　这个装置在众筹平台Kickstarter发起众筹，售价为199美元(约合人民币1352元)。(实习编译：薛静霞 审稿：李宗泽)

“ 有了这个神器，任何初学者都可以立刻潜到水下，去感受大海深处的魅力，尽情体验潜水的乐趣！
要说夏天最有魅力的运动是什么？
游泳？冲浪？
别忘了还有。。潜水！
来到风景如画的海岛，一边吹着令人心旷神怡海风，一边秀出你自己一直引以为豪或是不甚满意的身材。。 之后，潜到水下看看海底世界，绝对是夏日里最过瘾的经历和海边度假的标配活动～
可是你知道，只要潜水就离不开氧气。。传统的氧气瓶不仅非常笨重，而且操作起来难度很大，除非有专业教练的指导，否则初学者只有干着急的份儿。。
难道对于我们这些初学者来说，想在水下呆个几分钟玩一下，简单体验一下潜水的乐趣，就木有更好的办法了吗？
当然不是了！近来 Kickstarter上就推出了一款名为 SCORKL 的便携式潜水装置！
有了这个神器，任何初学者都可以立刻潜到水下，去感受大海深处的魅力，尽情体验潜水的乐趣！
这个 SCORKL 采用了超轻+便携的设计。怎样个轻快和便携呢？你每次潜水前只需要准备好这些就够了。。
Btw，人家的完整套装长酱紫：
SCORKL采用了标准的便携氧气罐参数制造，符合全世界所有潜水设备的制造标准。
每一罐氧气可以让我们在水下停留10分钟，而10分钟对于初学者来说，已经足够用了。
它的操作和使用方式也灰常简单～ 先来看看 SCORKL 的头部，它一侧为潜水呼吸器的呼吸头，与传统氧气罐相同，你可以随时按需使用；另一侧配备有气压计和标准接口，你可以随时掌握里面剩余的氧气含量。
我们需要做的第一步是向氧气管中充入氧气。这个时候你需要先将这个氧气罐充气的转接头安上去。
如果你潜水的地方有专业的大型氧气管，SCORKL 上面的标准接口可以直接充氧。
如果没有专业氧气管，那也甭着急，你可以用配套的打气筒来向SCORKL里灌气，对，就像给自行车轮胎打气一样。。
可千万别小看了这个打气筒，它实际是是个高压手动氧气泵，能够达到3000pSI的标准，经过过滤后的空气能让我们在水下坚持10分钟。
另外，使用这个打气泵打气一点都不会吃力，妹纸们完全可以独立完成，当然如果你想借机撩汉的话那就另讲了。。
然后，下一步，我们可以带着 SCORKL 到水下去尽情享受这10分钟的旅程了！
一起来看下视频感受感受：
SCORKL 便携氧气罐目前正在 Kickstarter 上进行众筹，氧气罐+转接头的套装价格为199刀，氧气罐+转接头+打气筒的套装价格为398刀，今年的10月就可以出货。
如果你跟8号床一样是个潜水菜鸟的话，可以搞上一个 SCORKL，在水下尽情地感受10分钟的大海～
