Aqua Star USA Launches Sleek High Tech Underwater Scooter for Two
The AS-2 Scooter is the latest high tech, underwater scooter to hit the marine leisure market. The Plantation, Florida, USA based Aqua Star have produced this two person underwater scooter. Couples can share the underwater experience together. Both riders are free to dismount, swim around and climb back aboard.
The diving helmet is nicely integrated into the scooters body; the rider’s head goes inside an air chamber within the helmet which is constantly supplied with air from scuba tanks lasting up to 70 minutes which is attached to the front body of the scooter. The helmet features a flat fog resistant glass, 99% distortion free giving a clear underwater experience.
Each scooter is powered by two electric motors one for forward movement and another for vertical movement, providing precise control, maneuverability and safety. Both the controls operate like a typical motorbike, just turn the handlebars for direction and push the batons for speed and depth. Pressure and depth gauges are provided on the control bar.
With speed up to 3.1 mph and operating depth of up to 12 meters, riders have access to shallow reefs and caves. The motors run by a rechargeable battery lasting up to 2.5 hours, which means it is very environment friendly and in no way damages the fabulous underwater ecosystem.
