You increase your enjoyment in the same dive time, I siliconed the seals before each dive, as many have recommended, so far no problem.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
For the money, it's hard to beat the thrust this scooter has. Sure, you can find some with more thrust but they'll cost over $2500. This scooter has a lot of bang for your buck. To those that had problems, just keep the seals siliconed and you should have no problems.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
[...]We let it charge at the store overnight. We try to test it and unit three doesn't even turn on. We try the battery in unit two. It works. I take it to the pool to get used to it and it floods in 12 feet of water. Luckily [...] has a decent return policy within 7 days. Two big name scuba shops I called have had the same problems with this unit on charging and flooding. Buyer beware.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
When I received the product it sure looked good. Got a chance to use it 3 times to a MAX depth of 53 feet. It flooded and stopped working.Sent it in for repairs only to have the shop misplace it. took them 2 months to tell me that they must replace it with a new one. But, it's a different place that will send to me. [...]What ever you do do not buy this item, IT"S JUNK

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
This unit flooded on my very first dive to 95'. It's rated to 160'. I sent it to the repair center under warranty. They have no way to test it to that depth, so they have offered to send a new one. It won't be available for two and a half months. By then, our diving season is over without a dry suit.
This is a shallow water toy. Stay away from it if you dive at any significant depths.
Customer service can't depth test the unit for leakage.
Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
works great. only used on about 10 dives so far, but all is well. helps cover ground and over come serious currents while spearfishing. saves on air and fatigue. great for price.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
Bought this DPV for underwater research for our lab. We only bought one as a test before buying more, good thing. As soon as we dove past 5 meters the safety shutoff functions kicked in. It took 2 days to dry before it would run normally in a water tank. A pressure test showed the motor compartment was to blame, which means it has to be shipped back to the manufacture for repair. Obviously we wanted to ship it back in exchange for another one, [...] So now we have to send it out to Sea Doo to have it fixed and then we're still stuck with it. Bottom line, spend the extra $300 and buy a Torpedo, we have several with underwater cameras attached and have had no problems.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
This device failed on me four times. I bought three of them from a store and each time I returned it they gave me a new one. Finaly I ask for my money back, they gave it back. I tired a online store on the other side of the state, and it failed also. I think its internaly flooding not sure. Distributor, and stores keep saying there is a problem with the battery. I was in 10ft to 50ft of water. It failed in both depths. This product needs to be recalled.I only use this device about a hour each time before it broke, some did not even last that long.The company I'm dealing with says I have to ship it back, but the postage may cost alot seeing that it weighs 32lbs.
I don't recommend this device.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
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!!!

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
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.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
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.

Comments about Sea-Doo Sea-Doo Explorer Sea Scooter:
I've used cheaper versions of the Sea-Doo line, but the Explorer is the obvious choice for professional-grade underwater propulsion. And she handles like a beaut.[@] As always, happy diving.

This is the best all around scooter for the money .
with the battery out it's lightweight plastic , only weight is battery .
Some that were shipped had water leakage , hope they fixed that .
