The 'MiniDive' scuba tank enables users to pump the tank up themselves and enjoy a quick jaunt underwater without having to deal with expensive and oversized equipment. The 'MiniDive' works by being [pumped by the user](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-compressor) prior to getting into the water; it will provide between 5 and 10-minutes of air per use.

Partaking in [scuba diving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diverplus) requires extensive training and expensive equipment in order to be ready to get in the water. The 'MiniDive,' however, aims at enabling amateur divers to use the equipment with ease to make exploring underwater worlds a possibility without having to go through the traditional method of training.

The 'MiniDive' scuba tank is currently being funded as part of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pump) campaign.
