Do you have any recommendations for a scooter that works in current? I dive in South Florida in around 40ft of water spearfishing and lobster diving. I am looking for a scooter that can get me back to my anchored boat. I was looking at the Dive xtras blacktip but its simply way too big for me to use with all me spear fishing gear I have on me already.
Oh I did not know that. So I have a collector’s item :-)

As an avid underwater explorer, I can’t contain my excitement about the Lefeet S1 Pro! If you’re on the hunt for the perfect underwater scooter to elevate your diving adventures in 2023, look no further.
The Lefeet S1 Pro is not just a piece of equipment; it’s a game-changer that caters to all budget ranges. It has completely transformed the way I experience the underwater world

Hi there,
I am interested in a sea scooter that lasts 1.5 hours and has a high speed, but I don’t know the brand and the prices, which one do you recommend?, at any price not too high
Hi Leonard. There’s a difference between scooters for tech divers and those for recreational diving. I’m just back from a trip testing out two Lefeet scooters, both separately and together, in order to find out how long they last. The reason this was interesting is that they don’t cost (relatively speaking) that much compared to scooters that last as long as you’d like. Unfortunately, for speed and longevity at a reasonable price, there’s not yet the product you’re looking for. Unless you’re prepared to pay $2000 or more. For reference: on low speed, with two Lefeet working in tandem, I got around an hour (conditions will change the time).

I’m a 62 year old male who has advanced open water certification with a hundreds of dives logged. I only dive recreationally for multiple days on dive vacations we take outside the US in warm water 2X per year. I dive at various depths but mostly in the 30 to 80 feet range. I’ve taken the PADI DPV course. I have progressing muscular dystrophy which has had a big impact on my leg strength – it’s difficult to fin kick and I can only frog kick and use my arms when diving. Any current is challenging. I’m looking into DPV’s Would you please reply and comment. Thanks Mike
It looks sounds like you’re looking for help with swimming, and not one that’s for going a long distance.
So, I’m thinking that you need a smaller unit that you can bring on any dive without too much hassle.
I have two options, I’d recommend you:
The first option is the Lefeet s1 or s1 Pro. (either will do)
It’s small, but okay power. Price is fair. Easy to operate, and also a possibility to mount on the tank if you want hands free. It’s controlled via a wireless hand remote controller.
Second option: The ScubaJet. It’s small but powerful. It’s not a budget option, but you really get the full power here still in a compact unit. You need both hands to operate this one.
Both options are fly compatible, so you can bring them on your trips.

Hey, we’re looking for a scooter mostly for our pool with the kids (7-10) — something fast with good battery life. I was looking at Seablue’s Whiteshark on Amazon, a fair share of people saying it just stops working and has bad customer service. And its battery life is short (30 min). Any advice appreciated.
Here I’d recomend the Lefeet P1 or S1 Pro with the shark floatie, or the WayDoo Subnardo – the last is the best value for money in the Pool – where as the P1 has more power.
We’ll be testing the Scubajet next month, and will let you know. If you’re going into strong currents, you might need to go for the larger technical scooters though.

Looking for a fast scooter to handle S.E. Florida current. Any recommendations?
For this, you don’t want and underwater scooter, as they are meant for going to depths a 7 year old can’t handle. I’d suggest you look for a snorkeling scooter and one that is so buoyant that he can’t take it underwater.
Grandma J
my 7 year old is an avid swimmer and snorkeler sp? Which shall I buy for him? Would like him to pretty much stay on the surface in and to dive w/o scooter
I’m not sure I understand your question. What are you looking for?

It was great to see your findings on some of these dps we have developed an underwater flying helmet system and was using a Lefeet motor but for some reason or another they are not communicating with us we would ask you if you could recommend another motor similar to Lefeet in specifications Kind Regards John

What do you recommend for a 220lb 50 yr old male with lots of snorkel experience? I want tkk ok get this as a birthday gift. Budget is not an issue. I just want something he will enjoy and be able to use.
Yes, it’s hard to enjoy the dive when using a DPV for the first time. Will properly need some getting used to. Or use it to and from the dive site, or just for the fun of it on a dive site without anything to see.

I did a few dives with a dpv and i was disappointed because I was so focused on steering the dpv that i couldn’t really enjoy the underworld world to its fullest. Perhaps I just need a few more dives and a higher skill level with a dpv.

I feel like flying when I dive but with this it’s like being a fighter pilot.

Hi Joe,
For thsi the Lefeet P1 might be really good to look at. It can be attached to your legs or you can hold onto it.
Based on test, you would need 2 P1s to match them Scubajet
The Scubajet was a really good scooter, but is no longer in production.
Oh I did not know that. So I have a collector’s item :-)

How about the scubajet?
Most in this list will do, but all are made for diving. Not sure if that is what you’re looking for?
We are looking for a sea scooter for our grandson to use at the lake. What would you recommend
Hi Vinay,
Sounds really great. What are you gonna use them for.
We can’t offer a price quote as we don’t sell the products.
Hii we are planning to buy 2 scooter. Pl give us price for the product.
