Spending time below the water's surface means having to be trained and equipped with SCUBA gear, but the 'SCORKL' aims to change this with a design that can be pumped up and used by almost anyone. Working like a miniature air tank that's intended to be refilled over and over, the 'SCORKL' can be held in the mouth and used to breathe underwater for up to ten minutes. This means that avid snorkelers can take a closer look without having to feel as though they are missing out on exploring their curiosities when in the water.
The 'SCORKL' can be refilled over and over with the accompanying pump that can be used to ensure it's always ready to be used to take a short jaunt under the surface.
