WaterBouy Keychain brings valuables back from the bottom of the Bay

If you've ever dropped your keys into the Bay and thought that your choices were replacing all of your keys or spending hours diving to the bottom of the murky water. There is now a third considerably less painful solution... the WaterBouy Keychain. Our friends over atAPS (one of the leading boat gear suppliers both on the Chesapeake and across the nation) decided to test this handy-dandy little device after one of their staff lost his keys in the Bay (which tends to happen a lot to people we know...). APS filmed this test run and you can check it out on their blog. Just attach this little gismo to your keys and if they are dropped into the water a balloon on the key chain will automatically inflate and bring your keys back to the surface, with a blinking LED light to aid in recovery if it's nighttime. The secret is apparently a patented trigger mechanism that causes the balloon to inflate seconds after being submerged in normal temperature water.
