Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned three AV-1 over the last 15 years and have probably logged over 2,000 dives since I started diving. These scooters are both practical and fun. They can even get you out of a sticky situation from time to time. I rarely dive without one of my scooters these days as I have grown so accustomed to them. They are extremely durable and easy to operate. I dive in south Florida and typically dive between 8'-150' in high current drift dives. The AV-1 is simple and a great tool for these dives when lobstering. The AV-2 Evo has a longer burn time and comes with a saddle for hands free diving. The AV-2 also has a battery life indicator which consists of a three color LED on the nose of the cover.
Plus:
durable
improves bottom time (reduce air consumption)
cover way more bottom
no more CO2 headaches!
improves safety (if used correctly)
Negative:
cost between $1900 - $3800 depending on model (but worth it)
requires some mechanical know how
DO NOT USE FOR ASCENT!!!
Your friends will want to borrow it all the time!
Tips:
attach a SS snap clip to front handle for drift line with hook
make a cradle for transporting in truck or boat (they roll and slide)
keep o-rings clean and lubed
don't let friends borrow it - they will break it or not give it back!
keep battery full charged
get the NiMh battery - you will be happy you did!
