Innovative waterproof backpacks power the new sport of seatrekking

• http://www.gizmag.com, By C.C. Weiss
  Seatrekking, not to be confused with the Sea Trek system developed by Sub Sea Systems, is essentially a cross between swimming, snorkeling, free diving and backpacking. ÁETEM's upcoming line of rugged waterproof packs is designed to meet its demands.
 
Seatrekking is similar to coasteering, another fringe outdoor sport that involves swimming, walking, climbing, cliff jumping and otherwise maneuvering along the coastline. But seatrekking brings overnight camping and farther distances into the mix. ÁETEM explains that seatrekkers snorkel, walk and freedive along a predetermined route over the course of several days. They explore the sea and coastline, camp on the shore and then continue their journey the following day.
