vehicles), or aqua scooters to name a few. Call them what you like, but the

swimming and get more bang for your buck by spending more time under the
surface while covering a further distance.

-foot-long ship in 150 feet of water while scuba diving, snorkeling with a
school of tropical fish, or just some general assistance to make your
adventures easier, more enjoyable, and longer lasting.
Snorkelers along the shoreline or scuba divers navigating a sizable wreck,
reef, or underwater cavern can both use underwater scooters. For a beach dive,
underwater scooters are a great option because you won’t use up as much energy
and oxygen just getting there.
Your underwater scooter can pull you along with no effort.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Underwater scooters are virtually always powered by rechargeable batteries. A
simple propeller system provides forward propulsion, typically employing one
or two propellers situated at the scooter’s rear.
An underwater scooter doesn’t normally move very quickly, which makes them
simple to handle and eliminates some of the laborious diving tasks.
Additionally, if the throttle is not engaged, sea scooters halt, so if you let
go, the DPV won’t float away.

The propulsion system of an underwater scooter allows the rider to go swiftly through the water. It runs on batteries, and the runtime can vary from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the battery capacity and the weight being towed. You will quickly find that operating an underwater scooter is easy to do:
- You will grip the handlebars with both hands
- The scooter’s on and off switch and throttle are also normally located on the handlebars
- Take off using the gear shifter that is normally on the opposite side of the power switch

- Simply move towards where you want to go
