SCUBA GADGETS

Sea Doo Sea Scooter

I really like this little gizmo. When paddling about underwater isn't fast enough for you, just fire up the Sea Doo sea scooter and hang on as it blasts you through the water. It runs at a top speed of 2 MPH with 11 pounds of thrust, at depths up to 65 feet. It's the only way to get from here to there when you're scuba diving—just make sure you hang on when you get up to speed!

The Sea Doo is powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts up to an hour per charge. To start it up, just press the finger-activated soft-start trigger; the propeller starts slowly for a moment, and then ramps up to full speed. Let go of the trigger and the Sea Doo shuts off automatically and floats to the surface. A safety grill keeps you from poking your fingers into the propeller.
