Dive Scooter Question....

[josh b.]

C4 scooters are awsome for freediving! They greatly extend your battom time.  Just be sure to purchase the right one, and plan dives accordingly.  They work great for scuba, just as long as you're comfortable using them and you plan your dives accordingly.  I would probably purchase 2 of them however. 

    And as far as picking up "treasures" underwater,  I have now seen people wearing back packs facing forwards, then put their BC on and move you computer to the left side of your BC.  This is much easier and safer, makes it much easier to control bouyancy, and leaves your hands free.


    Just keep in mind to plan a very conservative dive when using scooters.  Be sure you have enough battery life to get you to your point and back, otherwise try putting on pony bottle tubing and hook it up to your BC if/when it runs out.  It will be bulky,  but will leave your hands moderately free.


    Dive safe and practice using one in shallow water first.


Good luck,
JOSH
