Aqua Star’s Underwater Electric Scooter Charts the Ocean Depths

When we first laid eyes on the <a href="http://www.aquastarscooters.com/">Aqua Star underwater scooter</a>, so many different emotions ran through our minds - excitement, confusion, fear... but as we learned more about the bizarre but awesome vehicle, we saw that it was right up our alley. Called the <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-aqua-star-usa-underwater-scooter.html">AS-2 Scooter</a>, this compact undersea vehicle is powered by a rechargeable electric battery and allows marine enthusiasts to dive deep into the ocean to explore its secrets.

Unlike the previous <a href="http://www.aquastarscooters.com/products/">AS-1 model</a>, the AS-2 can seat two, meaning you can bring a buddy along with you on your adventures.

Once you're sitting on the scooter, you lower a yellow, Darth Vader-esque helmet over your head, which lets you have a 99% distortion free view of the water around you.

Able to travel at speeds up to 3.1mph, the <a href="http://www.aquastarscooters.com/products/">AS-2</a> isn't the zippiest, but honestly, who would want to zoom underwater at 30mph with goodness knows what going on around you?

nce submerged, you have up to 70 minutes of oxygen.
