![]() Submerge Scooters are of the tow behind style, where the diver is attached to the DPV with a tow rope, which eliminates all exertion. Tow behind style scooter: the apex of scootering evolution. This speed control system eliminates the requirement of complex electronic speed control componentry. Mechanical, variable pitch propeller allows infinitely variable speed settings between the slowest cruise to full speed, allowing divers to precisely match speeds with dive partners. The Submerge motorcycle style handle incorporates a safety cut-off if the handle is released, a cruise control which can be operated with the control hand, and a backup magnet switch operation in the unlikely event of a trigger wire failure. An idea which has now become an industry standard on all tech scooters designed in the last 10 years. Submerge pioneered the use of a control handle specifically designed for single-handed tow behind scooters. All major external parts of Submerge scooters are built with marine grade, UV resistant UHMWPE and HDPE industrial plastic, which are impervious to corrosion. The large cross section o-ring is more forgiving of contaminants and debris and does not require greasing with silicone (which tends to attract sand, silt and other debris responsible for seal failures). This seal type has been accepted as the ideal lighting and scooter sealing method over decades of extreme Florida cave diving. Main hull O-ring design eliminates clumsy and high maintenance barrel o-ring design in favor of an over sized (1/4" thick!) o-ring, face seal and spring clip pre-tensioning/sealing method. Sealed waterproof motor compartment not only protects motor and bearings from water if the main hull leaks, it also isolates the rest of the scooter if the shaft seal leaks, and prevents any objects, dust, dirt, moisture, salt spray or water from entering motor when the scooter is opened up for battery charging. Without this feature, the diver would have to constantly apply a small, but significant force, to the handle of the scooter, to prevent the scooter from its constant desire to rotate in a direction opposite the propeller rotation. This offset weight counteracts the torque/twisting action of the propeller. T he larger diameter of the UV scooters (10.6"/270mm) allows the battery packs to be offset from the centerline of the scooter. Depth rated to a conservative 400 feet UV scooters have a 10-year track record of dives as deep as 650 feet/185 meters. ![]() Lead Acid Replacement batteries can be purchased from Silent Submerge for $300.00 for the UV-26. ![]() There are NO BATTERIES included in this auction.
