lars that looks pretty good especially for the price, and you can take it down deep enough to still have some fun

I just received it. It's a pretty blue.
I forgot to enter the super secret code when purchasing "SUMMERFUN"
to get the additional $20 bucks.
$149 - $40 + $22 (shipping) basically $130.. Todays the last day for the sale.
If you have friends/relative near by, purchase one for each address. The mail
in rebate is good for one per address..
I plan to mount my video on it and use it to move me though the caverns.
I do not know how much noise it will make, but underwater, theres not much sound to listen to. I'm usually slow when taking video compared to everyone else. so I hope this will help.. I'll have to get a pic of me all decked out with all
my equipment on.. You'd think I came from another planet.

yea I was checking out one of the other links and they were thousands, so can't beat the price.

Those other professional scooters will cost a pretty penny. As Carl would say
Billions and Billions..
That is my next purchase. I think after that, I will have pretty much
sustained the dive industry for another 5 years. OMGosh, you should see my
garage. It looks like a dive shop..

I am waiting to hear a report on how the cheepo scooter worked out. I can see spending $150 on one of those if it works. I can't fathom spending thousands on one of the good ones, even if they do work great. If the cheepy works though, I am sure it would be a blast to play with.

SO LET US KNOW HOW IT IS/WAS

There was a guy on our boat with one last summer. It lasted long enough to get really far from the boat b4 it failed and he had to tow it back. He did get almost 5 minutes use out of it. It was that exact model also, I remember the baby blue and the Stingray on the side.

You can sometimes get a pretty good deal on an Apollo on eBay. I've seen AV-1's sell for under $500.
