In my experience there is only one scooter for all around N.E, wreck diving and that is an Apollo / dacor. We rent them year round and you'll see our scooters on many of the dive boats off N.J.. Now before everyone starts screaming prejudice we also have predators, a Gavin and had teknas and makos all decent scooters in their own right. You'll get 45 minutes of burn time at w.o.t. since it takes about 5 minutes on the surface to change a battery it's not a problem, although not something you can easily do with any of the others. They are officially rated to 165 however even Apollo admits 400 ft is not a problem. For digging, a popular pass time, an apollos clutch/ blades are very good. In short in a year rental with four scooter we have never done anything to them except I had to fix a wire on one of the chargers. A record that to me is unbeatable. -----Original Message----- From: Maria D.
