I agree to some extent. I've got a scooter and I only rarely bring it in the water. Depends on your objectives. They are great if you are cruising the OUTSIDE of the wreck, no reefs in NJ/NY. I'm certain no one would recommend using one inside...... I typically use my scooter for digging or covering large areas of the wreck looking for entrance or other digging spots. Nothing is absolute, it all depends on your objectives, just like the type of scooter. Try digging with one of those powerful torpedo tow behinds. You'd probably end up on the surface before you know it...... :-) Art. -----Original Message----- From: RMC [SMTP:halcyon@ha*.ne*] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 1998 10:32 AM To: cobber@mi*.co*; Dr. Neal Harman; cavers Cc: techdiver Subject: Re: Scooter Info. Request - Thanks Cobber wrote in-part: "Gavins are not for cave only, they work fine in the ocean, too. You have a dive club or something like that? Once you get a scooter you will want to take it on every dive." Absolutely correct. Scootering adds a tremendous new dimension to diving. Being able to cover ten to fifty times the area with little efort for the same dive is like walking is to cafe racing. Anyone that has not tryed a proper tow behind single hand balanced scooter is missing the boat. A huge shit eating grin comes on my face when I think of our great reef runs with a couple of my best pals every week, not to mention three wrecks in one dive in the off season.
