“The Fusion Scooter” presented by Silent Diving Systems, Inc.
The smallest Tech Scooter in its class with a big Heart! The Silent
Diving Fusion Scooter is the ultimate in tow behind underwater diver
propulsion vehicles (DPV). This truly innovative DPV is super lightweight
at only 35lbs/15kgs (Short Body) yet the most powerful DPV on the
market today. The SDS Fusion Scooter uses one or two 24 volt Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries in either the Short
or Long body configurations. The bodies’ length is interchangeable
which provide the perfect scooter system capable of being configured to
your needs. Either body can be balanced in fresh and saltwater via the
integrated weighting system.
The SDS Fusion Scooter is powered by a 60lbs thrust brushless motor
which provides plenty of power for the ultimate in fun diving or serious
project-orientated diving. The new SDS Fusion Model features a built-in
Trigger Shift on the Fly which allows the user to not only change thrust
through the variable pitch propeller system, but to change the actual
RPM of the motor with a simple click of the trigger. Recreational,
technical, wreck and CCR divers alike will find this scooter an incredible
machine which will dramatically enhance their diving experiences.
The SDS Fusion Scooter underwater diver propulsion vehicle has a full line of accessories that can be
purchased and added at any time. These include Navigation Compass Mounts, Underwater Video
Camera Mounts, Underwater Light Mounts, spares kits and travel cases that meet size and weight
restrictions of most airlines.

It looks like it to me, but it seems that dive manufacturers are becoming like the car companies in recent years. Basically everyone is selling the same things, with different names on them. I noticed this recently with a product and I was shocked considering one of the companies involved.

I have been looking for a new dive computer and the one I was looking at was a Dive Rite Duo. I was under the impression that this item was only made for Dive Rite, but then I found the Tusa IQ-700, which is the same computer. Then I found the same computer again but this time it was called a Zeagle N2ition.

I am sure that this will help drive prices down, hopefully.
