Hmm, how would I spend a $1,000 from the lottery?

I don't scuba dive enough these days to justify upgrading my equipment. It was top of the line, well, a long time ago. My setup is designed for travel because I can't get used to the cold, murky waters of New England. Yeah, there is a lot of life here but it's all a shade between light brown and dark gray. Hawaii, here I come. So, I went with a hoseless Oceanic dive computer, an integrated BC inflator / octopus and a top-of-the-line Atomic Titanium regulator. Two hoses in all. Not much to streamline here but that dangly Oceanic computer.

So… With a thousand bucks (and a few extra of my own) I can probably go for the latest in scuba streamlining–a mask with a heads up display (HUD) scuba computer. Take the Oceanic hoseless computer. Squeeze it into a fob-sized object stuck under the right mask lense and, voila, you have the Oceanic DataMask HUD. I just hope the mask fits.

But, since I mentioned already that I don't scuba dive enough these days to justify upgrading my equipment, the thousand bucks will likely get thrown into the slash fund for that Florida vacation with the toddler.
