Scubapro just came out with a new scooter. It is called the Sea Glider and I have had one now since May. It has a 2.5 knt speed..rated to 230fsw (but I have heard 500 mentioned). The rated burn time is 50 min, but we have been getting 80-90 min and not taking the batts below 12vdc. They sell around a $1100-1200, and for all around diving have been great. I have to say, I have not taken it on a tech dive yet, but it has lived up to every expectation I have had (we do a lot of single tank wreck dives, and I've used it a bunch so far). It's not a Gavin, but it doesn't cost $3500 either. Extra batts are 65.00 or so at the local battery store and four latches switch it out, really easy. I set mine up with a tow rope and one hand it easy. It's been great so far. Sean -----Original Message----- From: Maria D.
