AquaStar1 AS1

 

AquaStar scooters in Florida have developed a pair of recreational submersibles which both offer ease of use and relative affordability when compared with other undersea vessels.

The AquaStar1 AS1 is the smaller of the two subs, and it's strictly for only one person.

The AS1 offers scuba diving-like capabilities, but without certification, no cumbersome attached gear, and no experience required.

The AquaStar1 can reach speeds of up to 4.4 mph (7 km/h), and can dive to around 12 meters (40 ft). The batteries last for up to 2.5 hours, although you'll need to surface and change air tanks after 45 minutes.

The easy to use handlebars offer control over direction, depth, and speed.

Because the AquaStar AS1 is an open submersible, the pilot can leave the sub, swim around freely to investigate things more closely, and then return to the vehicle for more air.
