Not worth the money July 9, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

I received this product as a Christmas gift. It came with a limited 6 month warranty which is really useless if you live in the Northeast and it's cold until June. I used the product a total of 3 times and the motor seized. I called customer service and got no help. In fact they spoke to me as if I were an idiot. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. It is a total waste of money!!!!

The best Sea Doo to date: October 18, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful

I read one review on this scooter that was very negative and I think it does not reflect properly on this scooter. First of all, let me go over the negatives. First and foremost is that trying to get a service and repair manual for any sea scooter is near impossible and the Sea Doo explorer is no exception. I contacted Sea Doo, NFM, and other distributors of Sea Doo clones (all of which are manufactured in China) including the distributor who sold me my Explorer, without any luck in obtaining a repair manual. So, if your scooter breaks down you either have to spend the bucks to ship it to have it fixed if it is under warrantee or send it to a sea scooter repair shop if you can locate one. Second negative is the digital battery is a very expensive item to replace but is suppose to give several years use.
So lets talk about the Explorer. It is light years ahead in engineering over the old style Sea Doo's and clones. It's three speed switch is awesome and power comes on immediately unlike the older Sea Doos which slowly power up. Second, changing and charging the battery is a snap and the battery life per charge is twice as long as the original Sea Doo. As to weight, yes it is larger and heavier than the original Sea Doo but once in the water its easy to maneuver and my six year old daughter had no trouble turning it while surface snorkeling.
At high speed, it is as fast as you want to go underwater as the force of water against you will tire you out quickly especially if you are using scuba gear but I found that the middle speed is about perfect for cruising and low speed just about right to keep up with the dog.
For a free diver, this scooter rocks!! It will pull you down quickly (4 ft. per second)
and will go deeper than I would comfortably go without a backup air source (spare air/pony tank) and in fact this scooter will exceed the save diving limits of recreational scuba diving with its maximum depth rating of 160 Ft.. For a free diver this translates to a round trip from the surface to 160' and back up in just a little over one minute and 20 seconds at full power.
I have taken this scooter down over 100', lingered a bit and back up to the surface while free diving but I highly do not recommend this unless you are a disciplined and trained free diver and can make it to the surface without the scooter.
If using scuba gear, this scooter is great in conserving air and getting around but it is best to ascend using your BC and fins and carry your scooter up to the surface to avoid getting bent or injuring your lungs from over expansion especially when nearing the surface after a deep dive or when surface conditions are experiencing high swells.
Another plus for this scooter is the extreme ease to adjust its buoyancy with four cylinder weights and their exterior placement holes so your scooter can either be buoyant to keep the kid at the surface, or negative to go deep.
So, far I have had zero problems with my scooter but I just might be lucky as my older Sea Doo's were always having problems. I recommend diligent servicing of this scooter as you would any of your scuba equipment and follow the service and care recommendations in the user manual.
Bottom line, considering it's price and abilities in comparison to the older generation Sea Doo scooters and the pricey high tech scooters, this scooter is highly recommended for the serious diver who does not want to compromise performance and not have to spend the big bucks to get it!

Too fragil and sensitive... breaks easily May 14, 2007
5 out of 9 found this review helpful

For a "heavy duty" "professional" "for rental" equipment, sooo heavy (outside the water) it breaks very easyly.
It's exactly because its electronic chips, that are supposed to be there to PROTECT the machine, stopping the unit automatically when it gets wet (inside, of course) or anything else...
It happens that those electronics are the WEAK part of both the unit and the batteries. One came DEAD (the one already inside the unit) and the other one worked for charging, but after two minutes on the unit, also died, no more charging possible. I believe the unit is burning or shortcircuiting the batteries, so all are lost. A 20 kilos product (unit plus two batteries) and they all need return after TWO MINUTES of use. did not get wet inside, anything went wrong here.
Maybe was my bad luck... let's he how the deal with similar problems on that "heavy duty" unit.
