Have you ever imagined your pet exploring the deep blue? 🌊 In Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China, this idea just became reality! Pets are suiting up in transparent, oxygen-filled diving capsules that keep them dry at normal pressure, while their humans swim alongside. Talk about a next-level bonding session! 🐾
One star diver, a parrot named Jiujiu, went viral after descending in one of these pods. Alongside Jiujiu, a French bulldog and even a duck have taken the plunge. Inventor Chris, who launched this concept in 2020 following human scuba safety standards, has now safely taken more than 60 animals underwater. 🤿
Why it matters:
- Tech meets pet care: These capsules are like mini-submarines, blending cutting-edge design with animal welfare.
- Stress-free adventure: Pets stay dry and comfy at normal pressure, so no weird ear pops or water jitters.
- Future splash: Organizers plan to take pets into open-water dives, turning the pet industry upside down in a good way!
Whether you are a parrot parent or a pup lover, this trend shows how pet tech is evolving fast. Who knows? By next summer, we might see underwater park tours just for our furry and feathered friends. Ready for the coolest pet craze next summer? 🚀
