Apollo AV-2 Evolution DPV Sea Scooter
The AV-2 is the latest underwater Sea Scooter/vehicle made in Japan since 1988.
Even now, the development of the underwater scooter made by “Nippon Sensuiki” continues without ceasing to evolve so that it remains the best among all commercial underwater scooters.
Safety device
Water leaks into the scooter may cause damage, explosions or other serious accidents. To prevent this, a water leakage sensor and warning lamp are installed.
AV-2 Features
Progressive acceleration system
The rotational speed adjustment function allows for precise changes to your speed while in motion.
This easy activated speed adjustment results in smooth, effortless riding and allows for easy synchronization of speed between divers in a variety of geographical areas and varied current conditions.
When the main switch is turned on, the L.E.D. battery life indicators light up, and then by pulling the speed control lever up; you can adjust the speed to 8 different levels.
As a guide, MIN to level 3 is slow or for detection, and level 4 to MAX is for diving.
Hands-Free Riding Style
Travel at top speed.
Coast by your dive buddies, twisting and turning like a dolphin. Literally, dive circles around them.
The hands-free riding saddle helps you move like you were born to dive. Steering is achieved through body positioning.
A built-in arm extends trigger switch access forward for more convenient placement.
Both hands are free to extend like an aeroplane or maybe just to hold cameras, lights, and other accessories essential to your dive. More than just a fun ride.
There are many practical reasons for saddle use.
The use of an underwater vehicle, in general, can reduce your air consumption by up to 50%.
The saddle places you and the vehicle in a more streamlined position.
Being dragged long distances creates excessive muscular fatigue in the arms.
Furthermore, riding behind a scooter creates resistance and reduces the efficiency of the propeller blades.
Riding horizontally in front of the scooter streamlines the body and scooter, reducing drag and dramatically improving both speed and distance travelled on a single battery charge.
In addition, both hands are free to carry lights, cameras, or other underwater equipment.
The Wing Mount
By using the Wings, it’s now possible to pull two more divers with the AV-2 EVOLUTION.
When holding onto the wings, the diver’s different physiques have virtually no effect on the scooter’s performance.
The speed and distance with three men diving are almost identical to using the scooter solo without a saddle.
3 Speed adjustment – Propeller pitch assembly
Additionally, it is possible to easily vary the propeller’s angle or pitch, allowing even more fine-tuning of the scooter’s speed to the individual diver’s needs.
