Underwater Scootering Looks Ridiculous, But You’re Going To Be Obsessed With It

Are you ready to become part of the underwater world? Even without scuba or snorkeling skills, you can go under the sea with an underwater scooter. Here’s what to know about this hilariously awesome activity.
You can swim with the fishies without scuba gear.
Your head stays dry underwater in a bubble helmet contraption.
It’s like a science experiment turned tourist activity.
The bubble works through a neat physics trick, trapping air inside the helmet and keeping it full of breathable O2.
Your O2 is stored inside the scooter.
So you never have to worry about keeping your tank on you.
There are scooters where you can use scuba gear.
AĀ Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) servesĀ as a propellerĀ and you breathe through normal oxygen tubes and tanks.
Those let you speed along much faster than if you were swimming.
With a DPV, all your energyĀ can be used to spot underwater creatures.
Okay, so it looks entirely ridiculous.
But we’ll take it to get this close to a sea turtle.
Want to give this wacky adventure a try? There are opportunities for underwater scootering in Bali, Hawaii and many islands in the Caribbean.
