Though your body is immersed in the water, your head remains dry inside the dome, allowing you to breathe easily and wear contact lenses or glasses comfortably, while admiring the one hundred and eighty degree view.
The Scooter Cruiser is a self propelled diving vehicle, used primarily for introductory dives to a maximum depth of 10 meters. With that, for your maximum safety and to avoid any damages to the reef, as part of this adventure you will cruise at depths of about 4-6 meters.
When going for the Scooter Cruiser adventure you don't need to wear a mask or a mouthpiece as in normal Scuba diving, and the air tank and diving weights are on the Scuba-Doo, not on you!
This is why no lengthy courses are required, and you can get underwater for a special underwater adventure within minutes.
From a safety point of view, each group of 4 participants is accompanied by a fully qualified PADI Dive Instructor and additional qualified divers who are there to assist on nay matter. The dive depths are controlled by the use of an attached buoy, thus preventing damage to the Coral or the Diver.

The Scooter Cruiser has a simple steering and throttle mechanism and is powered by an electric motor making it non polluting and safe for the marine environment. At a rate of 2,5 knots you're able to ride amongst the spectacular underwater world, or remain stationary and observe the abundant fish.
