US $17,000 Scuba-Doo underwater scooter

Add the ability to cruise at a rate of 2.5 knots, or remain stationary while feeding the fish and you have a unique underwater experience open to a wider range of people than conventional diving - those who are not strong swimmers or who have minor disabilities can still ride the bike and you can wear your spectacles or contact lenses without difficulty.

"The major advantages the Scuba-Doo offers over any other underwater vehicle is that it can be used almost immediately by an unqualified or inexperienced diver with supervision", said Dawson. "The rider doesn't need a mouthpiece or mask and as such is a great tool for an introduction to a full dive course."

"We recommend one qualified diving instructor to no more than three Scuba-Doos in a hire environment", he said.

"We have also completed a second production facility in Malaysia where we will manufacture Scuba-Doo 's with both internal and external breathing options and we are now ready for full production in both our Australian and Malaysian factories," said McKenna.

"Most importantly, we are producing a high quality product from both locations, and we now have the production capacity to supply the market as it grows," said McKenna.

"The Scuba-Doo will be marketed internationally by the Scuba-Doo International (Malaysia) SDN BHD that is situated in Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia," said Dawson.

"We have international distribution settled in several locations, and can announce we have reached agreement for sole distribution covering Africa and surrounding Islands, Egypt, and Isreal.

"All our international distribution will be done through licenses and we're now in the process of looking for the right agents all over the world but we'll still deal directly with resorts and hire operators until a master distributor is appointed in their territory.
