Every day the line between real life and James Bond blurs just that little bit more and the Scubacraft definitely helps. The Scubacraft SC3 is a three-person, triple-hulled, high speed water craft that zips along the surface at 80kph (50mph) via its 120kW (160hp) water jet, 4-stroke engine. When you get to the dive spot, strap on your scuba gear, pull the plug and the Scubacraft will dive to a maximum depth of 30 metres (100′). Underwater it’s propelled via 4 electric thrusters that will drive you around at 3 knots for 90 minutes.

The Mobia treadmill from Nautilus promises to cut your workout time in half or burn up twice as many calories at the same speed.

This Remote Control Golf Ball won’t survive a hit with a driver so it won’t help you land on the green from the tee on a par 5 unfortunately.

That is until they recover their senses and beat it, or you, into submission, and then where will you be? Also comes with a charging station. £9.99 from Gadget Shop UK.
