12 Best Underwater Scooters For All Budget in 2023!

The LEFEET S1 Pro is not just one of the smallest underwater scooters in the world, but it is also more powerful and faster than the competitors in the same price range. It’s essentially an underwater scooter that allows you to go full ironman when snorkeling, a significant enhancement when diving, and a fun toy for kids in the pool.

With the same modular design, you can attach two engines for increased pull and power, set one on a scuba tank, attach to a paddle board or go full Ironman and strap them onto the side of your legs.

The ScubaJet Pro is a battery-powered jet propulsion system initially created as a snorkel and diving scooter but has since been adapted to many different watersports. The ScubaJet is fully customizable and comes in 3 different setups depending on your desired performance and power requirements.

After getting our hands on the Scubajet Pro, we took it with us snorkeling and diving to get a feel for how this underwater scooter works and give an accurate review of the pros and cons.

We focused on features such as battery life, top speed, and maneuverability while using the scooter. We also took into consideration the overall experience of using the ScubaJet Pro and whether it made the diving experience more enjoyable.

The modular nature of the ScubaJet means that you can configure it to your needs, with the ScubaJet company stating that it is the most versatile water jet system in the world. Read on to discover an in-depth analysis of the ScubaJet Pro for Scuba Diving.

In an expanding ocean of underwater scooters comes a model from eFoil-maker, Waydoo Tech, with a design that competes with established market leaders. Intended for scuba, swimming, free diving and to boost paddle crafts. The Subnado is the most compact of performance products that will fill the 2022 recreational market for underwater scooters.

Having successfully reached its Kickstarter funding, Waydoo will start delivering to its backers in July. The DIVEIN team got an early chance to test this scooter to measure its performance and get a feel for how it works in practical terms.

It’s not enough to have a good design. Not every good design translates into a great consumer experience. But, after some test sessions, it struck us that this compact and lightweight scooter has some very interesting and positive features at a competitive price that should thrust it toward the top of the market.

This lightweight and compact model is perfect for kids playing in the pool or snorkeling in the sea. Its many safety features include a dual-trigger operation and auto cut out. The propeller is well guarded so little fingers can’t get hurt.

The Seal Seascooter is not a model that you should consider for scuba diving but it offers great reliability and hours of fun for the family.

For that reason, it may be worth purchasing an additional battery as it’s a guarantee that the kids won’t get tired of zooming around in a lagoon or lake.

This is certainly going to turn heads underwater — it looks somewhat like the Starship Enterprise. It might be great for Trekkies but despite its very decent specs, it’s not suitable for techies. It’s the only model in our selection to feature dual props, giving it this unique look.

This model is ultra-light and easy to carry for children and adults alike. The depth rating is the limit of recreational diving, so perfect for short, deeper dives.

It is available in many combinations of colors so you can personalize your propulsion style by matching it with your, now rather unused, fins. Hold on and let the props do the work.

Despite this torpedo-shaped DPV being aimed primarily at technical divers, it can be used for any diving or snorkeling experience. Its single-handed control feature means that you are free to carry out tasks such as gas changes with ease.

This is rated for use to the deepest depth of any scooters listed here, but the price reflects this. Speed clearly isn’t a priority with this design as it rates among the slowest.

The weight and size of the Aquaprop L are well suited to travel. The battery isn’t the fastest to recharge, but with enough juice for two dives on one charge, recharging can be done after your day’s diving is over.

Yamaha produces the goods yet again. This time we see the same great design as the RDS series but with the much preferred lithium-ion battery. These batteries don’t require the ongoing maintenance other batteries do and are well worth the additional cost, in our opinion.

This range of more advanced DPVs has superior safety features to protect your substantial outlay. Yamaha still manages to keep the weight down, making this versatile scooter ideal for children and country hopping.

The next model in the RDS range really starts to get more serious for scuba. It is usable up to Advanced Open Water depths and can really keep you going at a decent speed for a significantly longer time.

Longer dives are possible with all that extra air in your tank saved because you’re not finning, something we can all get used to.

The RDS250 is ideal for large, shallow wrecks or for circumnavigating a coral island and admiring the fish along the wall. Yet it’s still very portable and lightweight for the traveling diver and older kids.

Yamaha seems to have the budget market fully cornered. Well known for their motorbikes and outboard marine engines, the company sets new standards in portable, affordable DPVs. They make models for all pockets and have a professional range, too. A great starter for those buying their first scooter.

The RDS series goes up in increments, with additional features for the higher prices. The RDS200 is the cheapest of the range but still offers some great specs for your money.

For the next model up for the Li series, Yamaha has produced a speedy scooter with a good depth rating and run time. The recharge time on these models is a swift 3 to 4 hours, making them among the fastest available on the market today. It also features an automatic buoyancy system that makes for a comfortable ride.

If this baby isn’t fast enough for you, its bigger sibling, the Li500 is capable of speeds of up to 4.35 mph. As fast as the money leaving your bank!

This machine is certainly designed for serious divers, hosting a massive operational range and substantial run time, this is perfect for exploring large wrecks at depths.

Where speed isn’t an issue, this machine is perfect for helping you pull around those extra tanks, extending bottom time effortlessly. The progressive acceleration on this scooter makes maneuvering smoother and easier.

This is also a seriously priced bit of kit, made to last and very sturdy. With that comes the extra weight, so you would have to purchase an extra baggage allowance if you want to take it to your bucket-list destinations.

Free your hands while diving the ocean depths with the Tusa SAV-7 Evolution underwater scooter. Offering an ideal way to get around underwater without tiring yourself out, the Evolution scooter offers several upgrades from previous incarnations. The progressive acceleration system, for example, allows you to make precise speed adjustments while in motion.

This easy-to-activate feature results in smooth, effortless riding, and lets several divers at once synchronize their speeds in a variety of geographical areas and current conditions. The scooter also comes equipped with saddle wings, letting it pull two additional divers without suffering any falloff in performance.

In fact, the scooter’s speed and distance limits are almost the same whether it’s pulling one person without a saddle or three divers at once. And divers will love the three-speed propeller, which is adjustable by both angle and pitch. This allows you to easily fine-tune the scooter’s speed and direction.
