Diver goes for scuba record… with gadgets


Richard Henry is hoping to set a new scuba endurance record and he's doing it in a style we can get behind: with gadgets.  Hoping to spend a solid seven days underwater, Richard is planning on taking along H2O Audio's waterproof MP3 player, a push-to-talk phone, a Palm handheld in an underwater enclosure, and some lo-fi handheld video games packed in ziplock bags to fight off boredom. He also hopes to bring a portable DVD player, but is looking for someone to donate one.  But the dive is not just a chance for him to geek out — it's being attempted to attract sponsors and donations to the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin.
