This has got to be the laziest way to SCUBA dive, the Scuba-Doo (where are you!). It looks like a cross between a moped and yellow submarine and promises to give people the thrills of SCUBA diving without the inconvenience of wearing a mask and having to swim.
It actually looks like a pretty neat idea for people that aren’t able to dive normally or just want to enjoy the experience without the work. Advantages are quoted as:
- No mask
- No mouth piece
- No heavy weights and tanks
- No special clothes or equipment
- Shorter instructional time
- You do not need to be a strong swimmer as the Scuba-Doo is self propelled
- Glasses and contact lens can be worn as your head and shoulders are not in the water
- Visibility is 180 degrees through a clear perspex dome giving a clear panoramic view
- As the diver is breathing in an enclosed dome which is constantly being replenished with fresh air from the air tank, they tend to relax quickly and enjoy the experience more
