lot lighter than my systems - though I can stay under longer with larger systems
would rather get one of these and get an extra battery - just hope the cost is smaller too

Ive been wanting to get one not for travel but to blow out some areas to get to deeper stuff

Looks like a good idea, though the restriction on dive time is terrible. I stay under with a steel 130 for over 3 hours, this only gives you 45 minutes - man that would go by soooooo fast. The 3 hours seems to quick................

OBN - Do not purchase the scooter - they are junk. I have gone through 4 of them. I've had the Torpedo for 4 years with no issue. The batteries stay strong for the whole 3 hours I'm down searching. Expensive, yes - but it actually works.

I bought the 2500 model. If you need more info, PM me.

but you would be less weighted down and be more maneuverable I would think - spare battery would be quick change
looks easy to carry if you have a mile walk to water - I have many spots it 100 yrds + to water and I'm dead just getting hookah or snuba to the water
wonder if it would be able to take on a flight?

That is my main reason also, I need something that does not draw attention. The ski would be great but setting it up is a two person job. Then you have two people wanting to hunt the same area. I have a few spots that I have got gold from and came back the next day and the area is covered.

Heck I may get the torpedo also ..xmas is just 6 months away. One thing I love about this hobby, invest a little and the finds can pay for it.

Mike and I have thought about a jet ski setup for a long time now, we've just never done it. Part of the reason is expense, but the other reason is because we hunt so many small "no gas powered motor" lakes. I used a kayak for a long time. We've also considered a pontoon boat setup, say something we could actually sleep on?
