Nice surprise

Diver Tony from Wilmington, NC

This scooter surprised me with its light weight and ease of use. Power was not an issue as I was able to tow another diver for two dives and indicator light was still yellow. Arms will feel it the next day. # speeds very useful when searching for artifacts. Read more

Great Work Out!!

Captain dragonfly- Fly to btm, drag up! from Morehead City, NC

It flooded at less than 100 feet. This is the 2nd one I have had. First one flooded the motor compartment. 2nd flooded Battery and Motor comp.'s. It was returned and the second flooded exactly the same. Sorry guys! This scooter is the NO GOOD!!. Spend the money and buy the higher buck one, I hear it doesn't flood. But I'll let you know. I will say for the 10 minutes that it worked it was nice. But this was my first scooter experience. Read more

Great Scooter

Will from Montana

Looked at this on the [...] web sit for 6 months and decided to give it a try. This is a great scooter. Had it in 100 feet of water today with no problems. Moves right along and allows you to make longer dives as you do not use up air, it does all the work. Battery life is axcellent. If you have been looking at them, buy one. Read more

Not For Deep Diving

Not For Deep Diving

Jeff from Morehead City NC

On my first dive to 95 feet the unit flooded. Not a lot of water, but enough to set off the flood circuitry. This means it only works intermittently (when flooded). The unit is rated to 160 feet but flooded at 95 feet with new, clean, lubricated O rings. My boat captain said another diver was on his boat a few days before me with a new Seadoo Explorer and his failed in exactly the same way as mine. Sounds like a design problem. The unit was supposed to come with an extra set of O rings but they were not in the box. I called Seadoo, faxed them the receipt with an RA number, and three weeks later I still don't have my O rings. If you want to use this as a shallow water toy then so be it, but I would not buy it for diving anywhere near the supposed depth rating. You are better off getting a used Oceanic Mako for about the same price. If you do buy one of these get a scrap of an inner tube to cover the clamps. They aren't hard to open. I could easily see one snagging … Read more

buyer beware

mdiaz2020[@] from Ft. Lauderdale

I boujght two of these units only to have them both fail. I never took eiyher unit past 50 feet even though they are rated up to 100 feet. When I sent them back I they repaired them and on the very next dive in 15 feet of water again both flooded internally and this time they seized. When I sent one of them back to repair they told me it would cost more that what the unit was worth. In all I'd say I used them maybe 10 times apeice (if that) not impressed with this unit. I am an instructor and find these units poorly designed due to leakage and the manufacturer does little to help if you have a problem. If you want to keep from throwing your money away buy another unit!!! and good luck if you don't!!! Read more
