Seascooter GTi takes divers to new depths
James Bond, eat your heart out. Jean-Michel Cousteau, take a number. The Seascooter GTI from watersport experts SEA-DOO is an underwater propulsion unit lets anyone become an underwater adventurer. It's a splashy good time for everyone — useful for scuba divers and snorkelers, or just plain fun for swimmers in the surf. Diver propulsion vehicles for everyone.
The 18-pound Seascooter will swim along at 2.5 mph for up to two hours with a waterproof rechargeable battery. It will sweep you down to 100 feet, and it has adjustable buoyancy so you're not fighting it to stay submerged. For $400, it's not that expensive compared to the other costs associated with diving.
Jacques Cousteau, James Bond, or Ethan Hunt, take your pick of action stars. I know that I always hear a heavy French accent talking about "Ze Great Barrier Reef" whenever I go diving. Video of the Seascooter GTI in action can be viewed here.

Another device that's been around for decades. I used one that looked much like that in the early '80s.

Hi,
I'm going on a scub-diving holiday soon and am very interested in buying one of these sea scooters. Do you know if they have a good battery life?
Thanks
