Underwater Scooter

A  Underwater Scooter allows you to explore the sea with less fatigue and half the air. 

Scooters An underwater scooter is also known as a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (or DPV for short), and offers a brilliant boost to any underwater exploration. Incredibly useful for covering large distances underwater, most sea scooters can travel two to almost four miles an hour (or 3 to 6 kilometer per hour), depending on body weight and gear resistance. Most fully-geared scuba divers travel at a fraction of that speed, so a scooter can severely increase the amount of ocean you'll see on your next dive.  Because you're also doing a lot less work when traveling by scooter, you'll use up approximately 50% less of your air supply. Be aware, though - because you'll be working less, and cold water will be pouring over your body faster, you're apt to get a lot colder. It's often wise to wear a thicker wetsuitwhen traveling by scooter. Underwater scooters can take you anywhere you need to go. Many models can operate at a depths of 100 to 300 feet (30 to 90 meters), with higher-end models able to function as low as 650 feet (or almost 200 meters).

Scooter Accessories An underwater scooter is a significant investment, and you'll want to keep yours in tip-top shape so it'll provide you with many years and many dives worth of use. The battery on an underwater scooter can take from 4 to 8 hours to charge, depending on the model, the battery, and the mileage of both. Combine that with a 60 to 90 minute runtime, and use-time becomes a genuine concern. For extended use of a scooter, many divers buy an extra battery and keep it charged, so it can be hot-swapped in the field to double the scooter's run time. Batteries also don't last forever - after a certain amount of charges, a scooter's battery will need a replacement.  Many divers find that the speed of a scooter makes it harder to keep track of your depth. To combat this, it's often a smart move to install a depth gauge directly on the scooter itself, so there's always a depth reading right in your face. To make this installation easier, why not pick up a gauge bar, which is specifically designed for mounting all manner of gauges to your scooter? You'll also find replacement battery chargers here as well, and replacement O-rings
