Building this sea scooter was such a fun and exciting project! 🛠🌊 I hope you enjoy watching the process as much as I enjoyed making it. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more cool builds!

Very nice! But you forgot 2 things... 1, Lights, one forward and one straight down, in case your presence disturbs silt, and 2, a gopro mount!

Awesome device! I think it would be much faster without the acrylic panel in the back. Round bars are among the easiest things to use for a cover. Still very impressed with how well it works and it looks like a lot of fun.

The electric motor seems to have a rev limiter on it because of its former application, I would certainly dig into removing that feature. Secondly the clear plastic grate at the output of your thruster is going to heavily restrict your thrust under water was well, causing the propeller to have to work against itself, I suggest putting some wires across the output area like you did with the intake and removing the clear plastic grate, this will make the unit much more efficient and increase the thrust, therefore speed. Also look into perhaps 3d Printing a toroidal propeller and then use it as a mold to pour molten aluminium & make your own propeller which will increase your thrust and require less power to do it, increasing the efficiency of your water scooter. Also, it looks like you might also be fighting with the buoyancy of the scooter, so you might want to add a little bit more weight to the interior of the scooter to make it a little closer to neutral buoyancy but put the weight in a strategic spot so the unit will stay in the proper orientation for easy use.Just be careful not to make it sink, because you'll still want it to float for ease of retrieval if you happen to get separated from it, ad lastly add a kill switch to it, so if for whatever reason, the thrust lever becomes jammed into full throttle and you are forced to let go, the kill switch, if pulled out, will stop the unit dead, because the kill switch hey should be mounted to your body physically, just like a surface jest ski or other personal watercraft. Now all you need to make is a rebreather so you can stay under water for much longer periods than you could even with air tanks! Great build, keep up the fantastic ideas my dude!

bro you forgot the battery, creepvine lubricant, copper wine and the titanium.

I absolutely love the fact that you single point your threads. Well done!

[officecrazy]

Really cool. Especially repurposing the balance board motor. Great work as always.

[Falney]

Love the build. Something I have been playing around with in my mind is building a seabike. A submersible with a hydrofoil that can also blast on the surface. I think it would be super cool but I can't quite get the courage to start.

[papaspeleo]

I know how much work it is. I made my first one 15 years ago and modernised it 4 years ago.
Nice job!

[ToolTimeToday]

WoW! You sir are so talented. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you go above and beyond to make this Sea Scooter. what a buzz you must have had not only making such a device but also being able to use it, That water looked so good. Thank You for the video. Look forward to the next project for sure !

[mussydesign]

you literally build every component on that build very impressive craftsmanship, well done

[navarandadotorneiro]

Simply fantastic, my friend! Perfect, I lack words to describe how amazed I was! And these images of the bottom of the sea are breathtaking!!! CONGRATULATIONS

Excellent! I think get a larger prop and a reduction unit externally, which would give more power to move more water, rather than the inefficient smaller high speed prop. Beautiful shop and area to live. I think the acrylic prop guard is reducing a lot of thrust also.

[Gazman]

Brilliant project, great skills in your amazing workshop. You made this happen with your cleverness and abilities. More please

[FarmerFpv]

How can there be so much talent in one guy? This is bananas. You should build an RC airplane next. Build a big RC plane. I think you already have a radio control from your RC boat project.

[curtism]

sure doing a LOT of swimming. Doesnt seem to have much thrust.

[aserta]

You guys should have one out of three episodes, titled as "Scrap Challenge" and make weird and cool things out of scrap. There's... limitless potential.

[Donorcyclist]

Your innovation and build quality are always so impressive! Great work!

[DuduTonet]

Amazing work, guys! Greetings from Brazil o/ 🤓

[pixle]

bro really made his own sea glide from subnautica, very cool project.
