Swim to the underwater room (aka the Bubble Room)

For more information please visit http://subaqua.alldaydrive.com

Jordan (co-inventor) is camera man for this shot. The ring is made out of super heavy duty galvanized steel pipe that has been cut and welded into an octagon. Gussets where also welded into the inside corners for re-enforcement. Air is regularly re-freshed with a SCUBA tank.

Even though the Bubble Room is a DIY project it has taken years of improvements and some pretty heavy brainstorming sessions with some very bright and qualified people, to get it to where it is today. Not only is it pretty dangerous if you aren't acutely aware of the laundry list of risks involved, but the build in general is very heavy duty and well thought out. For example a bubble that size has a lifting force of approx 5,600 pounds! it's one thing when you underestimate a project and it goes wrong in your garage and nobody's lives are involved, it's completely another when the project puts your friend's and family's lives at stake 20 feet underwater. I know it's awesome and I don't blame anybody for wanting one of their very own, but please don't go out and kill yourself attempting to replicate a project with such huge forces and such high risk. If you feel the need for your own Bubble Room bad enough (why wouldn't you?) my brother and I can be commissioned to install a patented private model complete with fresh air pump, backup generator, detachable stainless steel ring, and a heavy duty, crystal-clear, collapsible, vinyl dome. One can be installed during the new construction of any private pool. For more information head over to our website and drop us a line!! subaqua.alldaydrive.com

This is a clip of the short journey from the shore to the bubble room. In this video is Jordan (my brother and co-creator of the bubble room), my dad (Bob), Danny (who's been down to the room many times) and a first timer! It's pretty cool to see people's first time reactions!

@pillageTHENburn It was a joke based on a commercial...

@pillageTHENburn I never read the descripts until I say something stupid... looks like fun.

@jaghatarkebab I think he is referring to hypercapnia which is often referred to as "Carbon Dioxide Poisoning". I don't think the term is accurate but his point is. Your last sentence doesn't make any sense because I think it's missing a comma. Also "dioxide" alone is not something you breathe. A dioxide is simply ANY oxide that has two oxygen atoms per molecule. It's important to note that both oxygen atoms are bonded to another atom (from some other element, carbon, sulfur etc).

@miseryluvsco You are absolutely correct! It's called pulmonary barotrauma and it's a VERY real threat even at these "shallow" depths.

@wifebeater756 Normally I would tell you all about it. But for two reasons I think that would be a terrible idea. The first reason is your username - you've got to be kidding me. Second reason is that I'm pretty sure you'd kill yourself; I'm not entirely against you doing that but I don't want to have any part in it. Good luck with life!

@cangriman0101 I'm glad you enjoyed it! We have a blast with this thing!

@kabamaRu1990yo Needle sized holes do nothing but trickle a small stream of bubbles. The vinyl is PVC and doesn't rip or propagate tears. Sorry man.

@AllAboutUs88 Probably not. I suppose you "could" but it would be tough. First off it would deflate quite slowly. Second there is a SCUBA tank with regulator on the lake bed, plus we carry dive knives, plus it's only 15 feet down - it would be trivial to hold your breath until you reached the surface.

@frankrulez8395 How big was what? The room? It's about 6.5 feet in diameter. 15 feet underwater. There is approximately 3 feet of head room.

@steve625c6 A lake in Nevada. Private message me and I can give you directions!
