you take one of them sharpeners with the containers on top to keep the sharpenings in..

Fisher Co. developed the pen without any funding but their own. The pencils NASA has previously purchased for past missions were much costlier than the Fisher pens used for Project Apollo.

I will tell you why I need this pen to do what it claims to do. Not necessarily underwater, but will come in very handy. I am a diver off of california for abalone, and CA state requires you to fill out special fishing license(glossy paper) at the beach, not at your car. You will get a ticket for that by law. I have been using sharpie(doesn't work well under wet condition), but this year rule changed again to use ball point pen under wet condition. I think space pen would work.

@toxicitzi Obviously you should try writing underwater before claiming it's impossible or stupid. they write on a stiff card or board. I have done it using a pencil whilst monitoring reefs. As kraiger said, it would be handy if ou had been swimming and needed to write and your paper got wet or your hands were still damp. As for keeping yourself 'up', when diving you need to wear weights to help keep yourself down (bouyancy). next time, perhaps you should research your answers!

@kragier I don't care how good a swimmer you are, you don't have to be an champion in the olympics to understand that underwater is a different environment then in your home or the library!

You can't just say you can write underwater while SCUBA diving and expect people to buy it! You need to keep yourself up all the time, you can't hold that paper right underwater because of the environment, its just an fail experiment and you don't need to even try it to understand how stupid it is!!

@toxicitzi Have you ever even been SCUBA diving? A lot of marine biologists would probably benefit from being able to write underwater. BioLOGists study things. Studying means info; info means notes. You can't always just see something. The gear isn't that heavy underwater. I have been recreational SCUBAing (47 feet kty) and I took pictures, and if I had to, I would have been absolutely fine with writing. What if your paper was wet or you dropped your pen? This would be nice even if a lifeguard.

@toxicitzi Did I say, "Scuba divers use it to record information underwater?" NO, I said, "Scuba divers use it to record info." They work in a wet environment, they need a pen that can place the ink on the paper. You talk about physics, obviously you just approached that subject in high school, and yet you feel somewhat knowledgeable. Most ink pens are not pressurized, which limit their uses. NO, the pen cannot do it all, but it can do more that your average Bic Crystal.

I'm not done..

Think more about the physics under the water you retards.. The incredibly slowed movement of your body and on top of that, scuba gear! do you know how heavy that shit gets deep underwater?

I think those divers have enough troubles just staying at an safe level underwater so that they don't fall down and stay there until they drown to death

You don't play with Gravity!

again guys, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WRITING ANYTHING IN THAT SITUATION!

[toxicitzi]

@downtoearth121 have you seen or heard of any scuba diver writing while swiming?

I'm sorry but, I think you guys do not realize how retarded that statement sounds.. the scuba diver not only has to swim but also write on paper

Try to understand what it's like diving underwater or under the ocean floor (usually where scuba divers are),just think of the dangers under the ocean floor, with all that why the fuck would you even consider taking notes in all that mess

you think scuba diving is fun? >_>

[downtoearth121]

@Restash scuba divers use it to record info.
