Brand: Apollo
Located in: Assorted Accessories, Underwater Scooters
Apollo has manufactured the original AV-1 for over twenty years. It is recognized as one of the most reliable diver propulsion vehicles in the world.

The NEW AV-2 underwater vehicle is Built for serious underwater explorers . The new AV-2 scooter is depth rated to 230' (tested to 300') and can run up to 100 minutes. That's more than double the average run time of the previous model. Choose between the new increased voltage Lead-Acid battery or for more extensive diving the Nickel Metal Hydrate (Ni-MH). With all that time to burn you can get distracted. The new battery life indicator will come in handy.

Complete control of speed is now at your finger tips. Travel at up to 2.5 miles per hour. The new variable speed trigger works with the Hands Free Riding saddle (included) for smooth acceleration from full stop to top speed. Riding hands free gives you freedom to explore new sites and new diving styles. Twist and turn like a dolphin, soar like a manta ray or make use of the tow bars to take along a couple friends and extra gear.

Which model is right for you?
Each vehicle comes complete with saddle, re-usable packaging, and your choice of Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) or Nickel Metal Hydrate (Ni-MH) battery and charger set. SLA version also includes a plate for proper weighting of unit. Plate is quick to install or remove as needed. Batteries are interchangeable. A switch mechanism on the interior wall of cover allows you to use either battery type with same vehicle. Chargers are specific to battery type.

Comments about Apollo Apollo Underwater Propulsion Vehicle AV-2 Evolution Scooter, Yellow:

For the money, it's the best on the market. You can easily pull two divers with it, or even 3 smaller divers. Far more powerful than the high end smaller Seadoo. Most fun is to get two of them so a friend can go with you easily. On version 1, the trigger springs were brittle, so get a couple of spares.

Comments about Apollo Apollo Underwater Propulsion Vehicle AV-2 Evolution Scooter, Yellow:

I used this up here in Brooklyn NY on wrecks that needed to be exposed.. Small and controllable but, still a work horse, if your going to use it for getting you around find a way to attach a rope from your BC to the scooter so your arms will sorry.
