If you have a really large DSLR setup, it is often easier to just mount it on the scooter. It also gives you the option to shoot video and when you need to snap off a quick picture before the subject swims off, you can just stop the scooter, grab the camera with the scooter still attached...
I check the my 600s in the soft cases we make and add my wetsuit, boots and other gear to the bag to hit 50lbs. The batteries get hand carried on the plane and there's no extra baggage charges. Our prop and nozzle aren't as fragile as the thin plastic Oceanic nozzles, so a soft case works just...
The 600 was not tested as "tech" because they ran out if time and the thrust and speed are basically the same as the 1200. I dive a 600 with doubles or side mount and a stage when I take it on cave diving trips to Florida. The Genesis 600 has more range than other scooters with 650Wh to 900Wh...
The Small Mount is priced at $260 and the larger mount is $395. If you want to add the quick release system, the QR base is $60 and the QR mounting block is $80.
The primary material is HDPE plastic, which actually floats in water, so you generally do not have to re-ballast the scooter when...
Scooter diving videos are just as fun to make as they are to watch, but as usual, I could not find a camera mount that met my needs, so I had to design a new system.
Unlike current offerings, the swivel lock can be released without taking your hand off the controls and the other hand can then...
I'm looking at something now that would have more feedback than a few LEDs, but it will take more development time. It will also be an easier retrofit, but I don't want to get anyone too excited just yet.
For now we use WattsUp meters in the charger cable to track power use and check the...
If you travel to warmer climates and want to take a scooter, the 600 is the only option on the market that gives you realistic run time and decent power. We take our scooters to the Caribbean and do dives that the locals would not even think of doing, because we can get out and back in strong...
A little scooter fun in Carmel Bay that I finally got around to editing. The sea lions were with us for the whole dive and not the slightest bit camera shy.
50-60ft of vis and 8-12ft of surge (barely noticeable on a scooter)

We had 20-25 divers show up. A couple of them were customers taking their new scooters out for the maiden voyage. The most often heard comment was how easy it was control the speed. No multiple trigger clicking or missed shifts and no stopping to adjust the propeller pitch, causing the divers...
If you are referring to the harness, they are available and one of these days I'll get some pictures of it up on the website, along with our new swivel camera mounts with Quick Release trays. They let the diver unlock the swivel, while still moving and pan the camera without having to let go of...
I have had 3 or 4 danforth style anchors, including a Fortress and if the bottom was anything but sand, they just did not hook. ...and who wants to dive a sandy bottom anyway?
I have found that the claw style hook better in the rocks and run a heavy anchor so I don't need a lot of scope (1:1...
Well there's your first problem, mushrooms are useless in anything but a calm lake and Danforths are useless pretty much everywhere. Take a walk along the pier and you'll see that most boats (and all the dive charter boats) in the marina have a Bruce style claw anchor. Buy at least twice as...
There is not an active dealer down there, so sales are direct right now, but there are a fair amount of divers down there with them that you might run into. We have a demo event next weekend, August 9th, at Lake Tahoe if you feel like a road trip.
Logic Dive Gear will hold a demo day Saturday, August 9th at Meeks Bay Beach on Lake Tahoe (National Forest beach, not the resort beach just to the north)
The Gate opens at 8:00 and we'll start diving around 9:00 and go until all the batteries are all drained. Water temp is typically low...
Runtime is a rather vague comparison, since it doesn't define any power performance metric. A better comparison of brushed vs brushless motors power requirements is the Tahoe benchmark 150fpm cruise power data. The brush motor scooters required approximately 250 to 350 Watts to tow a diver at...
The TBM tech data for the 1200 was done right after someone borrowed it for a test dive and it had a bunch of rocks sucked trough it that beat up the leading edge of the blades. I didn't notice it until after the test. The tech data was not averaged across three divers like the single tank...
