I have always wanted to learn to scuba dive. The chances of me ever getting my wife under water after seeing that flick Open Water is slim to none though. The best I can hope for is that someone I know goes diving and uses a mask like the Liquid Image Model 312 mask.

The mask has a video camera built in that records at 30 fps in 720 x 480 resolution. The camera can also shoot 5MP still images and operates down to a depth of 65 feet. The buttons are large and designed to be used with gloves.

Liquid Image, a maker of random electronics, is showing off at CES some new digital camera masks for the scuba set. One of these is the VideoMask 310, priced around $160.

The VideoMask 310, available next month, lets a diver record not only digital photos but also video. The video is at 720 x 480 and records at a rate of 30 fps. The built-in digital camera also has a five-megapixel still image function.
