Fishbowl Diving

Do you harbor a yearning to dive in distant, tropical seas to view exotic fish and colorful corals? Fishbowl diving will allow this and more at a fraction of the cost.

The diving fishbowl kit has two basic parts: a 5 gallon (19 liter), flat-bottomed, spherical bowl similar to a water cooler bottle and a rubber collar that seals firmly at the base of your neck and snaps onto and off the bowl. The fishbowl has a circular shelf inside its rim for attaching coral and aquatic plants. The collar is penetrated by a flexible snorkel for easy breathing.

To use the diving fishbowl, fill it with water at the correct temperature and salinity for your fish. Add the fish (not carnivorous) and some sand. Don the collar and swim goggles or facemask, insert the snorkel mouthpiece, lean forward and sink the head into the bowl, clicking it onto the collar.

Now straighten up and experience the wonder and beauty of sea life at close hand, while relaxing at home or in the park.

Safety features: A sign on the inside reads, "Outside objects are more distant than they appear". Another sign next to a small hammer on a chain reads, "In case of emergency, break glass".

If you order within 10 days, you will also receive a packet of plastic flakes to give a snowball effect, perfect for those longing for a wintry vacation. Also enclosed is a packet of aluminum flakes for dancing, disco evenings.
