Lately we finally received 2 scooters for our deep simulator. They are both the same models – Future 1000 made by Seacraft.
Since we’ve started it was crucial to have it as additional safety equipment. In case someone ‚fall’ to the tube without lanyard it’s one of the fastest way for rescue. Maybe even the only one reasonable.
We made some test and outcome is very satisfying. We made a rescue from the bottom and from pick-up to the surface took 50s.
Diving alone to the bottom of the tube, to 45 meters takes 30 sec. Consequently the whole dive up and down – 1 min.
Scooter weights 16 kg on the surface and we can set up buoyancy and trim of it in the water. Slightly positive, pointing up is our choice so far.

One of the best things about Seacraft is that it’s Polish brand. It has very innovative technology of engine and propulsion. There’s no shaft in it and the whole engine and propeller is separated from the module where you have access and where the battery is.
Even I think they are the best in the market we ‘re waiting for some improvements for freediving with the new release later this year. New model will be smaller and more affordable, dedicated more to recreation.
I’m super happy to have them for our use!
