A new product that has just gone in to production in Australia puts you right in the sea without traditional diving gear and instruction. This means you don’t need to wear a mask or a mouthpiece as in diving, and the air tank and diving weights are on the ScubaDoo, not you!
You are seated on your ScubaDoo, with your head and shoulders within a clear dome, your air constantly replenished from the Scuba tank, enabling you to breathe normally!
the ScubaDoo is very manoeuvrable and at a rate of 2.5 knots you’re able to ride amongst the spectacular underwater world, or remain stationary while you feed the fish. the glass dome works as a type of air chamber or air pocket this allows you to breath without wearing normal scuba gear, you can even wear your spectacles or contact lenses in the ScubaDoo.
There’s no need to be a strong swimmer, in fact the ScubaDoo is even used by people with minor disabilities.
Your Dive Instructor will show you the safety techniques of the ScubaDoo, and you’ll be off enjoying yourself in just a few minutes, while those doing a resort scuba dive are still doing their class.
You are seated on the Scuba-Doo, with your head and shoulders within a clear dome, your air constantly replenished by the Scuba-Doo Tank, enabling you to breathe normally!
The duration of the air tank depends on the amount of times the buoyancy tanks are inflated. Normal use under instructors supervision 88 c.f. tank approx 1 hour.
The intended use of this vehicle is for shallow water operation only and the vehicle should never exceed its buoy safety length. the ScubaDoo is powered by a 12 volt sealed gel cell battery that gives you about an hour and a half of cruising time.
UPDATE: As of 2020 the website of local Australian company who was selling the Scubadoo seems to be down. We are not sure if this product is still available new but there are still plenty of leisure operates of the craft around the world giving rides to tourists on places like the Great Barrier Reef.
