Super Dive Tank

Abstract

The present invention provides an enclosed, in-ground, temperature-controlled super dive tank for recreational diving and / or dive training purposes. The super dive tank has a length ranging between about 100 to about 200 feet long and a width ranging between about 50 to 150 feet wide. The depth of the tank ranges between about 50 to 80 feet deep. The present invention also provides a method for simulating open water diving by a diver, comprised of diving in an enclosed, in-ground, temperature-controlled super dive tank up to depths ranging between 50 to 80 feet. The present invention thus provides a diver with as natural a diving experience as one would have if one were diving in a coral reef in an ocean.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]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.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]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.[0003]There exists, therefore, a need for a super dive tank that can be used for recreational and / or trai...
