A dive computer by any other name, the Sea Instrument is a square and (sort of) attractive piece of kit for rich divers. Launched this month by Danish watch designers Linde Werdelin, it clips onto the Biformeter watch and gives you all the info you need while you're blowing bubbles a hundred feet below the surface. So, it may be nice-looking, but is there anything there that would persuade me to get rid of my Suunto Mosquito, a snip at $300?

Waterproof MP3 Player is iRiver, Dives to 200 Feet Under the Sea
I wouldn't—well, I would just once, like to see what it's like to dive with The Hives singing along while I fin down to a reef —because I like to live out my Darth Vader fantasies, but this MP3 player could just persuade me otherwise. What is remarkable about this iRiver iFP-380T, with its waterproof case and headset, is that you can go down to 200 feet with it clipped onto your mask. The device runs on one 9-volt battery and one AA and it costs $199. [Frontgate via UberReview]

Oceanic SCUBA Mask with Integrated Head-Up Display
Here's a great idea for SCUBA divers: a mask with a tiny LCD panel that shows your depth, time you've been under the water and cylinder pressure. The transmitter gathers the data at the regulator and sends it to this mini display mounted right where you need it. More »
