Underwater Scooter by Aqua Star!

Scooter rentals are popular at seaside resorts, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see someone trying to translate their appeal into an underwater equivalent. Intended for short-term tourist rental, the Aqua Star brings a scooter’s ease of use to undersea exploration.

The controls will operate like a bike – just twist the handlebars. The coolest feature is the diving bell style–helmet integrated into the Aqua Star’s body. It moves the heavy and cumbersome breathing apparatus from the diver to the bike, leaving riders free to dismount, swim around and climb back aboard at will.


The Aqua Star is an underwater scooter designed to give riders the scuba experience without requiring any kind of license to operate. With a top speed of just 4mph and a maximum depth of 12 meters, the Aqua Star won’t intimidate potential users the way a Jet Ski or scuba lessons might. In fact, it could help more people access popular snorkelling reefs.


The following are few interesting features of Aqua Star:

* Its one of the quickest & fastest way to move underwater
* One doesn't need to be a professional diver to ride it
* While under water no mouth piece is required to be used
* One doesn't need to wear a mask.
* One doesn't need to carry oxygen tank on his/ her back
* Weight belts are not needed

While details haven’t surfaced on who makes the Aqua Star or whether or not it’s for sale, we think this water toy would make the perfect addition to any yacht or tropical beach house..
